Gay Love Poetry

by Neil Powell (Editor)

This wide-ranging and superbly entertaining anthology of poetry stretches from Catullus and Ovid through Marlowe and Michelangelo, on to Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde, and finally to such moderns as Thom Gunn, J.R. Ackerley, Francis King, and C.F. Cavafy. This one-of-a-kind collection makes a convincing case for the central place of gay poetry in our literary culture.

Cute and of its time. Would read again. A nice glimpse into the pulse of the past

I need to reread but I thought at the time it came out it was a very good book of poems.
