Here, We Cross

by Rose Lemberg (Editor), Alex Dally MacFarlane (Contributor), Amal El-Mohtar (Contributor)

"Here, We Cross" collects twenty-two queer and genderfluid poems from the digital pages of Stone Telling magazine. This chapbook is a celebration of speculative poetry that is diverse and varied; here you will find poems with speakers or protagonists who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, genderqueer, trans*, asexual, and neutrois; speakers who struggle with the body and the society’s imposed readings of that body. It is a painful book, a triumphant book, full of works that soar and breathe and live. Just like us.

I really want this to reach a wider audience. A collection gorgeously curated by Rose Lemberg (also the editor of The Moment of Change, the first anthology of feminist speculative verse), from the archives of Stone Telling , the best new 'zine I've encountered over the last three years.

Habe mich sehr auf diese Gedichtssammlung gefreut, weil ich neuere Ausgaben von dem Magazin Stone Telling gelesen habe und sehr begeistert war... leider fand ich die Gedichte langweilig, kaum verständlich und langatmig :[
