They are looking for original voices and brilliant writing which explores characters, stories and experiences beyond the mainstream. Celebrating the fascinating, the forbidden, the subversive, and even the mundane, but in essence, the view from outside
These stories hold the beat of Queerness strong…. holding up to the light, pressing close in the shadows, highlighting in ultra neon, throwing the most fabulous shade, the intersectional voices of the authors are seriously diverse.
“It can take just a few years for fiery relationships to go a little colder. This does not have to happen to you, so long as you take a few key steps to keep your passion alive.”
The prose is world class, the arguments a clarion call, although not all of them recent, they chime in our daily lives still. The authentic narrative of personal experience of transition lift this book into Gospel and the poetry shakes it all back down again with metaphorical and emotional lightning strikes of shocking vigour. A great book to start the year with and a superb book to have experienced.
Join Paul McVeigh, Colm Toibin and Shannon Ye this evening at 8pm for a discussion on their Queer Love anthology
