The anthology by Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan, 100 Queer Poems, is a celebration of exciting contemporary voices and visionary poets of the past. It includes works from Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Ocean Vuong, Carol Ann Duffy, Kae Tempest, and many others.
100 Queer Poems embraces the blossoming of queer poetry in recent decades and the poets who paved the way, opening new paths. It showcases an electrifying range of writing from the 20th century to the present day, challenging and redefining what a 'queer' poem means. Inside you will find classic works from Elizabeth Bishop, Langston Hughes, Wilfred Owen, Charlotte Mew, and June Jordan, central contemporary figures like Mark Doty, Jericho Brown, Carol Ann Duffy, Kei Miller, Kae Tempest, Natalie Diaz, and Ocean Vuong, as well as thrilling new voices like Chen Chen, Richard Scott, Harry Josephine Giles, Verity Spott, and Jay Bernard.
The anthology, curated by two widely recognized poets, Mary Jean Chan and Andrew McMillan, moves from childhood and adolescence to the development of new homes and relationships with our chosen families, from urban life to the natural world, from explorations of the past to how we find and create our future selves.
