LGBTQ Resources for Pride Month   Celebrate pride this month by exploring the rich tradition of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer poets and poetry through our new selection of poems, audio, videos, essays, books, and more, on our LGBTQ Poetry page. Eleven Queer Poets on the Poems That Changed Their Lives   In this brand-new feature, poets Mark Doty, JP Howard, Joan Larkin, and others remember the poems that influenced their lives as LGBTQ writers and individuals. Read about the powerful impact poets such as Marilyn Hacker, Audre Lorde, and Walt Whitman have had on these writers. Read this collection of letters queer writers wrote to their younger selves. Read Mark Doty’s essay on sex and holiness in Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl.” Read this Stephen Burt essay on Frank O’Hara’s casual, personable poetics.
