the problem with being trans is cis people. The problem with being queer is straight people. The problem with being disabled is abled people. The problem with being Black is white people. In other words, prejudice.

Yay, Canadian poetry!

From Scott Dagostino of Glad Day Books in Toronto comes a round-up of Canada’s queer poetry scene.  Besides me, Canadians mentioned are Amber Dawn, John Barton, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Leah Horlick, , Ben Ladouceur, Jeffrey Round, Marcus McCann and Shannon Webb-Campbell.

Daily Xtra, Canada’s gay rag, has a look-see at three current lesbian books:

Love Will Burst into a Thousand Shapes, poems

100 Days of Rain, by Carellin Brooks, novel

For Your Own Good, by Leah Horlick, poems

Yummy.  I knew about Leah’s book and have been looking forward to it, but I didn’t realize Carellin had a novel.  Can’t wait to read them.
