Home Is Where You Queer Your Heart

by Miah Jeffra (Editor), Arisa White (Editor), Monique Mero-Williams (Editor)

Poetry. Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. LGBTQIA Studies. Home Is Where You Queer Your Heart anthologizes contemporary queer writers and artists creatively thinking through the complex and fluid realities in the U.S. and abroad. Curated during the 2020 U.S. presidential election and the COVID-19 pandemic, as the culture shifts into a new normal--and many queer people feel their nation has further precluded them from a place of comfort--poets, essayists, storytellers, and artists remind us that it is at our kitchen tables, in our bedrooms, on our porches that makes us who we are.
