Recs if you like I Do Know Some Things...

Short story, essays, comics, and/or poetry collections focusing on queer and trans folks. Please note: there are some collections listed where not every story is queer, but there is intersectionality, and since that is important, I have included them.

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!!

Queer poetry to make you feel

A collection of 21st century poetry for people who think they might be interested in poetry but got turned off by high school or college courses that focused on long-dead white people whose struggles and language aren't necessarily relevant to modern society.
