A groundbreaking anthology edited by acclaimed poet, critic, and scholar Stephanie Burt, Super Gay Poems assembles fifty-one works encompassing the wide range of queer and trans verse after the Stonewall uprising of 1969. Since that galvanizing moment, poetry has served as both a vehicle for queer liberation and a witness to its sometimes fragile, sometimes ebullient flourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems here represent the variety of queer and trans life itself. They include near-sonnets and rhymed quatrains; skinny dimeters and shaped poems; chatty free verse and intentionally inaccurate translations; the demotic and the rococo. Arranged chronologically, the selections trace queer culture’s recent evolutions. Frank O’Hara, Audre Lorde, Judy Grahn, James Merrill, Thom Gunn, Jackie Kay, Adrienne Rich, Chen Chen, essa ranapiri, and The Cyborg Jillian Weise—poets widely known and poets who deserve to be—share their alienation, their euphoria, and their encounters with a protean community as it discovers new solidarities and new selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is paired with an eye-opening essay in Burt’s trademark style. A treasury of aesthetic experience and insight, Super Gay Poems points protestors, political organizers, poetry lovers, and LGBTQIA+ readers toward many beautiful tomorrows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burt, Stephanie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261468266680,"sku":"9780674307926","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780674307926","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
