More LGBTQ poetry to get to know, Part I

As we prepare to discuss the second half of Invisible History: The Collected Poems of Walta Borawski, co-edited by our very own Philip Clark and Michael Bronski, next week, it's high time that I catch up on sharing the LGBTQ-themed poems (not all by LGBTQ poets, I should note) from the American Academy of Poetry's Poem-a-Day newsletter. These poems were disseminated in June and early July 2024. Enjoy!
