There are many poetry books written by and about LGBTQ+ individuals that offer powerful and important perspectives on the experiences of queer people. Here are a few highly acclaimed books that may be of interest to LGBTQ+ advocates:
"Don't Call Us Dead" by Danez Smith - This collection explores themes of race, gender, and sexuality, and addresses the AIDS crisis and police brutality.
"The Milk of Every Mouth: An Anthology of Queer Poetry from the Spanish-Speaking World" edited by Jorge Merced - This anthology features a wide range of voices from Latinx queer poets, exploring themes of love, desire, and identity.
"The Selected Poems of Carl Phillips" - Carl Phillips is known for his complex and nuanced exploration of same-sex desire and identity, as well as the intersection of race and sexuality.
"The Complete Poems of Audre Lorde" - Audre Lorde was a pioneering lesbian, feminist, and civil rights activist, and her poetry reflects her activism and explores themes of power, identity, and marginalization.
