Recs if you like The Dream of a Common Language...

Poetry books written by Disabled, Deaf, Neurodivergent, Ill poets.

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.

*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

I'm making these kind of lists to make you open your eyes and do your own research.

The list is never-ending so there will always be someone missing

dive into some* of the most influential queer poets. read one poem at a time, devour whole collections, whatever. just approach openly and leave changed

*please request additions!!

Books saved the narrator in "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal" by Jeanette Winterson. Books may yet save us. This is a list of all the books mentioned & referenced in the novel. Feel free to comment any that I missed
