We walk home every day through the noise, through the fear, through the headlines that tell us we should not exist.
And yet, we walk.
In The Way We Walk Home, Ryder Tombs delivers a fierce and deeply human collection of sixty poems about queer survival, love, rage, and resilience. These raw and unflinching verses capture the pulse of modern queerness, from the quiet weight of anxiety to the fire of protest and the tenderness that survives inside every act of defiance.
Born from marches and sleepless nights, heartbreak and headlines, these poems refuse to apologize for their existence. Tombs writes about kissing your lover on a street that might not love you back, carrying joy like armor, grieving honestly, and finding strength in the communities we build together.
This is not a book about finding safety.
It is a book about claiming it.
Because queerness has never been just an identity.
It is a revolution that keeps walking.
