The first major literary anthology for queer poets of color in the United StatesIn 2014, Christopher Soto and Lambda Literary Foundation founded the online journal Nepantla, with the mission to nurture, celebrate, and preserve diversity within the queer poetry community, including contributions as diverse in style and form, as the experiences of QPOC in the United States. Now, Nepantla will appear for the first time in print as a survey of poetry by queer poets of color throughout U.S. history, including literary legends such as Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, June Jordan, Ai, and Pat Parker alongside contemporaries such as Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Danez Smith, Joshua Jennifer Espinoza, Robin Coste Lewis, Joy Harjo, Richard Blanco, Erika L.

There are some really beautiful poems in this book but honestly it could have been spread out into multiple volumes. 100 poets is too much to retain and I feel like some organization of topics or eras could have helped raise up the writers instead of piling them into one book. That being said, it’s still a worthy compendium. ( )
This is a really incredible anthology that manages to collect decades' worth of work by queer poets of color and give you an amazing taste of the variety and possibility. I want to go out and read so much more work by all these poets; it has works by the sort of "obvious" poets, but also newer, then-up-and-coming poets, and poets whose work is perhaps less immediately thought of. Favorite poems in this include Denice Frohman's "once a marine biologist/told me octopuses have three hearts", "Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong" by Ocean Vuong, "Heavy" by Hieu Minh Nguyen, and "Wet Dream" by Allyson Ang. Honestly though, I loved pretty much all of these poems, and their variety is really a strength of this collection. ( )
