Queer Poetics
Bite HardBite Hard by Justin Chin

Bite Hard by Justin Chin
  
Bite Hard, a collection of poetry, fiction, and performance pieces by Justin Chin, weaves together a vision of otherness that is unique in gay writing. Chin, who was born in Malaysia, raised in Singapore, and is now living in San Francisco, writes from queer pan-Asian experience: outsiderness times two. Whether describing a series of bad ex-boyfriends (he has had seven named Michael, each worse than the one before) or being pursued by "rice queens" (white men interested only in Asian lovers), Chin's authorial power resides in his ability to articulate humor as well as rage in the reality of what it means to be an Asian American homosexual in a country that valorizes Caucasian heterosexuality. Witty, smart, and sexy, Bite Hard is the work of a young artist finding his voice with passion and intelligence.

 

The Antinous Press

Eggeling's published poems since 1970 are now collected on the web.  These poems were published in anthologies such as the historic "Male Muse", and in "Angels of the Lyre"; "Orgasms of Light"; "Gay Roots I. and II." "Queer Spirits"; and in such periodicals as "Gay Sunshine"; "Denver Quarterly"; and "James White Review".

Allen Ginsberg praised Eggeling's first book, "The Ganymede Equation", and publisher Winston Leyland has acclaimed Eggeling as  one of the top three "Gay Movement Poets."

 

The Church-Wellesley Review

The Church-Wellesley Review, named after the main intersection in Toronto's vibrant gay village, is a quarterly review of fiction, poetry, interviews and essays by, for and about lesbians and gays. Our main objective is to promote new voices and follow new trends in lesbian and gay writing. Nonetheless, new writers sometimes find their work introduced by or published along side writing by Timothy Findley, Jane Rule, David Watmough, Patrick Roscoe, Shyam Selvadurai, Chocolate Waters, R.M. Vaughan, Marnie Woodrow and others.

Gay Spirit Visions -- Poetry & Prose

Gay Spirit Visions started as an outgrowth from a series of Radical Faerie gatherings (which was the first hint of a movement among gay men to consider what masculinity means to us) that happened at Running Water farm near Asheville, North Carolina in the late '70s and 80s.

 

Lesbian Poetry 

By Alexandria North.  Alexandria created this site to honor the works of those poets who, over the ages, have written eloquently about romantic love between wome

n. While some of these poets were honored for their work in their time, others wrote on this topic at the cost of their literary careers, never being appropriately recognized for their creations simply because the material (or the poet herself) was lesbian. This page brings their work out into the open, where it can educate people about intimacy between women and women's writing, as well as inspire the work of newer poets.
