Even more LGBTQ poetry to get to know, Part I

I hadn't realized just how long it's been (four months!) since I last posted a compilation of LGBTQ-themed poems (not all by LGBTQ poets, I should note) from the American Academy of Poetry's Poem-a-Day newsletter. So I'm playing catchup on that, in this and the next two postings. These poems were disseminated in September and October 2023. Enjoy!
