Interpreted by Burt, the poems of Frank O'Hara, Audre Lorde, Judy Grahn, James Merrill, Thom Gunn, Jackie Kay, Adrienne Rich, Chen Chen, The Cyborg Jillian Weise, and others trace a flourishing of queer life from Stonewall to today.

Here is the definitive edition of Seamus Heaney's poetry, with illuminating critical notes, including a substantial number of uncollected poems and a selection of poems never published before.
