LGBTQ poetry to get to know, Part I

As we prepare to discuss the first part of Invisible History: The Collected Poems of Walta Borawski, co-edited by our very own Philip Clark and Michael Bronski--both of whom will attend the May 15 session, I'm delighted to report--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 January and February 2024. Enjoy!
