UP//ROAR is a follow up to our best-selling Joy//Us: Poems of Queer Joy.
The environment for the LGBTQ+ communities, has changed alarmingly quickly in the last two years and these are new queer poems for bleaker times.
Are we angry? You bet we are. Do we still laugh, make jokes, make love, make friends, forge communities and make a lot of noise?
Of course.
Poetry is an act of resistance, it gives us strength, and it takes many forms, from singing to nail varnish, gossip to badges, refusing to back down and refusing to forget.
An unexpected turn of events led to this book also becoming a living memorial to our loved and lost, because, it turns out, resistance to erasure must continue, even after death.
