Every now and then I fall apart, uh, no. Every now and then I encounter books that literally change my life, or at least push my reading in a very different direction. This is such a book. Because of this collection I spend more than 200 € on other poetry collections, and I have no regrets. It’s an excellent collection of gay and lesbian poetry. The percentage of lesbian poetry could be higher, but I admit it was some of the male poets whose work resonated most for me. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to discover some new poets. And while I have now read all of the poems in this book, I have by no means finished it - I know I will pick it up again and again.

I genuinely really enjoyed this anthology. All around, it made me feel warm and seen. I would love to read more like it. There were a few poems that stood out, and a few that I didn't love, but I feel relatively confident in providing a 4 star rating.
