Pride Month poetry, Part 1

As I noted in a previous post: In honor of Pride Month, the American Academy of Poetry's Poem-a-Day newsletter has devoted its June lineup to LGBTQ+ poetry. I've split those offerings up into three posts because there are so many of them. Enjoy!

Bildungsroman by Sam Sax (Note: He's the guest editor who selected this month's poetry; I've added this first set of poems from his oeuvre to the ones he actually chose for the newsletter :-).
