Beautiful presentation; intelligent, articulate and passionate. Your students were/are so lucky to have you as an instructor.... All the very best from Yakima, WA., USA
I love when introductions breathe such life into a book, get the cogs turning like you said. I will definitly have to pick this up. The passion in your voice during your reviews is really something! Always making me excited to pick up the next rec. 😌
I am in love with the way you are able to describe books it is simply beautiful.
You begin in infancy and you grow, you head out into the open wide world and then thst world closes in around you and then you look to the future it is life. It is a path through a quarrel life a gueer world or just the world itself.
You flatter me, thank you so much 💜
A couple of my favorite Q poets: June Jordan and Essex Hemphill. June Jordan was a Black bisexual Caribbean-American woman and a professor at Berkley. My favorite of her poems are Owed to Eminem, Why I Became a Pacifist, Poem from Taped Testimony in the Tradition of Bernhard Goetz, and Poem About My Rights. Essex Hemphill was a gay Black man who lived in Washington D.C. in the 80s and 90s before losing his life to AIDS. His work is entirely out of print now but I found his poetry collection Ceremonies through the Internet Archive. Favorites include Visiting Hours, Occupied Territories, Now We Think, and Tomb of Sorrow.
This sounds absolutely delightful! Ever since finishing The Ice Princess's Fair Illusion, my desire to read more poetry (specifically through a queer view) has increased. The only collection that centers queerness that I've read is Love Speaks Its Name: Gay and Lesbian Love Poems (edited by J.D McClatchy), which was in 2016. I will totally be checking out this collection. 😊 Also you look so beautiful in this video!
You check out this collection and I’ll check out that one! Thank you 😊
Are the poems like Schrödinger's cat? How we try to observe them changes what they look like?
Can't wait to check some of them out though.
(Also you look hella cute in black and white!)
That’s a really good way to put it, yeah!
I've been thinking of reading some poetry lately, so I might give this a try!
Also, although I can't support you on Patreon for the laser hair removal, I support you in spirit! Go and be yourself. You deserve to be comfortable in your own body!
On a different note, I've been having a dark type because my partner just broke up with me. They met some people at an event, and now they've suddenly became really religious and denounced his support for the LGBTQ+ community, which includes me. I'm lost, confused, angry, lonely, and disappointed, and heartbroken. I thought I had at least one person who would support me for who I am. But now that same person is saying they'll see me in Hell, because of who I am and because I have become irreligious. And my country persecutes irreligion. So you can see how lonely that is.
Still, I'm glad this community is here, and how safe and heard you make me feel, Willow. I always feel like I can say anything, even horrible stuff like this, and not be judged for it.
I hope you have a nice day!
I got this for my birthday and I can't wait to read it! Based on your review I would definitely reccommend Queer Square Mile: Queer Short Stories from Wales edited by Kristi Bohata, Huw Osborne and Mihangel Morgan. I felt about it the way you've described feeling about 100 Queer Poems, in terms of being so thrilled by its variety and depth and feeling grateful that it exists.
You've convinced me to get this now. Glad you enjoyed it so much.
i love your style
I love your pfp
It is an important point that everyone sees the world through their own filters & lenses, including those of the authors'. Reality is Subjective. Thank you for the interesting way you applied this concept to this book of poems.
2:13that line of questioning sounds like the most exciting proposition of poetic analisys i've ever heard 😭😭😭 will those poems be read differently based on their inclusion in this collection? would i have thought it to be queer otherwise? where do we draw the line of what belongs? are queer proses identifiable? intentional? can a poem be queer if i simply want it to be and read it that way? guess i'll find out! (or be further confused but in a good way 🥴🥴). this is truly fascinating, can't wait to read it!
Ooh wow this sounds like such an important book! I really gotta get my hands on this.
Yeah, that’s what we like to hear!
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of Japanese or Korean written account or books about aliens that’s translated? I just stumbled on your channel and you given so many awesome references and it got me thinking of anyone knew of such books? Thanks so much for your time💕🌿 I’ve tried google but no luck
Fantastic review! Just in case you haven’t heard of her, I highly recommend Jos Charles and her book “Feeld”. At the risk of this seeming like a shameless plug … I have discussed her book on my channel, but I have a feeling you’d be able to review it in a much more articulate way. I’m a fan of your channel, thanks for your great videos. Cheers, Eleanor.
Thank you so much for the recommendation and I’ll absolutely check out your video!
@@WillowTalksBooks Thanks for replying so quickly! Also, I forgot to mention that there’s a booktuber called Jen the Librarian who is actually working on a PhD about Wilfred Owens. She has a great channel and does mention her research from time to time so it might be of interest to you.
You would love The Spectral Wilderness by Oliver Baez Bendorf!!
Speaking of the Queer Gothic, have you seen What Moves the Dead, a retelling of Fall of the House of Usher with a non-binary main character?
I haven’t but I must!!!
Is it comprised only of poets orginaly writing in English or you get some translated poems?
I’m sure I came across a few translated poems but the vast majority are from English poets
@@WillowTalksBooks thx 😘
We should all read good poetry. Queer or not.
Ok
The world is destroyed
I’m looking outside right now and I promise it isn’t. Is the problem maybe that you’re a loser caveman?
