Love Is for All of Us
Description
Edited by James Crews with his husband, Brad Peacock, and illustrated by Lisa Congdon, these compassionate poems of connection and affirmation are a celebration of all kinds of love--romantic love, family love, friendship, self-love, and love for nature. The poems are gathered from a diverse group of contemporary writers, both part of and allied with the LGBTQIA+ community, with a special focus on queer, nonbinary, and transgender poets.
Contributors include Andrea Gibson, Ellen Bass, Nikita Gill, Mark Doty, Audre Lorde, Richard Blanco, Gabrielle Calvocoressi, Danez Smith, Joy Ladin, Carl Phillips, Li-Young Lee, and many others. Brief essays called "Stories of Becoming" act as touchstones throughout the book, telling the inspiring and touching stories of LGBTQIA+ people whose experiences may bring hope to others.

Reviews
I wish my queer younger self could've read this chorus of light, could've held these words as mirrors of my own possibility. Instead, I will share this anthology of belonging with queer and trans young ones I call family, and cry tears of hope that glisten like stars they can anchor their hearts to. Within these pages we are safe. We are held. We are loved.
--Kai Coggin, author of Mother of Other Kingdoms and Mining for StardustHeartful poems you hold in your hands.--Richard Blanco, fifth inaugural poet of the United States
