UP//ROAR is a follow up to our best-selling Joy//Us Poems of Queer Joy.
The environment for the LGBTQ+ communities, has changed alarmingly
quickly in the last two years and these are new queer poems for bleaker
times.
Are we angry? You bet we are. Do we still laugh, make jokes, make love, make
friends, forge communities and make a lot of noise?
Of course.
Poetry is an act of resistance, it gives us strength, and it takes many forms,
from singing to nail varnish, gossip to badges, refusing to back down and
refusing to forget.
