What a gift, this book, one I wish I had in my personal library and in my super gay life much earlier. Stephanie Burt is a vital thinker, offering witty, fun, aesthetically perceptive, and politically astute reflections on the work of an astonishing range of poets. -- Chen Chen, author of <i> Your Emergency Contact Has Experience an Emergency</i> Stephanie Burt has woven a raucous rainbow flag from our contributions—the contributions of fags, dykes, enbys, trans folk, and queers—to poetry in the past four decades. This essential book needs to be on every poetry reading list and on every queer studies syllabus. -- Rajiv Mohabir, author of <i>Whale Aria</i> Stephanie Burt has given us not just a guide to queer poetry but a new way of thinking about beauty, passion, and the passage of time. Absolutely indispensable. -- Charlie Jane Anders, author of <i>All the Birds in the Sky</i>
