An anthology of queer nature poetry spanning three centuries.   This anthology amplifies and centers LGBTQIA+ voices and perspectives in a collection of contemporary nature poetry. Showcasing over two hundred queer writers from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, Queer Nature offers a new context for and expands upon the canon of nature poetry while also offering new lenses through which to view queerness and the natural world.   In the introduction, editor Michael Walsh writes that the anthology is “concerned with poems that speak to and about nature as the term is applied in everyday language to queer and trans bodies and identities . . . Queer Nature remains interested in elements, flora, fauna, habitats, homes, and natural forces—literary aspects of the work that allow queer and trans people to speak within their specific cultural and literary histories of the abnormal, the animal, the elemental, and the unnatural.” The anthology features poets including Elizabeth Bishop, Richard Blanco, Kay Ryan, Jericho Brown, Allen Ginsberg, Natalie Diaz, and June Jordan, as well as emerging voices such as Jari Bradley, Alicia Mountain, Eric Tran, and Jim Whiteside.  

Zamávejte Visionovým! VISION chce být jako člověk, a co je víc lidského než rodina? Proto se vrací zpátky tam, kde to všechno začalo. Do laboratoře, kde mu dal Ultron život a přeměnil jej ve zbraň. Do místa, kde se poprvé vzepřel předurčenému osudu a uvědomil si, že by mohl být něčím víc – že by mohl být člověkem. Právě zde je tedy stvořil. Virginii, manželku. Viv a Vina, dvojčata v pubertě. Vypadají jako on. Mají i stejné superschopnosti. A sdílí také jeho největší touhu (nebo je to posedlost?): neutuchající potřebu být zcela obyčejnými lidmi. Jsou to prostě jen sousedi odvedle, akorát nás můžou kdykoliv všechny zabít. Tak žádné obavy, vždyť co by se mohlo stát? Připravte se na zlomená umělá srdce, těla, která nezůstanou pohřbena, pravdu, jež bude odhalena... a na Visiona, který se navždycky změní.

Michael Walsh’s poetry collection Creep Love explores a family contending with a complex and ongoing crisis, the aftermath of which creates a shockwave that reverberates through these poems. Stories, half-truths, and lies combine into disturbing fable: A young pregnant woman flees her abusive boyfriend only to discover with terror that he is focused on her younger sister. When her younger sister later gives birth to her abusive ex’s other sons, the unsettling presence of the child’s father becomes unavoidable, and the family soon forces the first son to become a family secret. We come to find out that the father carries a secret of his own. As tensions rise, attacks within the family escalate and finally culminate in an attempted murder. In Creep Love, Walsh captures the terror of this event, and these poems take us through the surprising outcomes. Near death, rather than floating into light due to hypoxia—a temporary release from the grip of compounding trauma—the speaker sinks into all-encompassing darkness. The anxiety of this moment returns him to his body from the edge of death. These poems give witness to the fallout, demonstrating how love can be charged with something ultimately unknowable.  

On my third day in 1992, I saw Laura Dietrichson. It was one thing to read about murders in true crime books. The victim had a life—accounts and photos were merely evidence of that life. But that’s all it was. The person was still dead as you read about them. Yet here I was looking at a future murder victim, as real, as alive, and as wholly unaware of the date she would die as I was of my own. Her murder in ten months somehow made her seem even more alive. Professor Cal Sutherland’s research on the philosophy of time and time travel elicits only snide remarks from fellow philosophers and rejection notices from journals. Even Cal would admit that time travelers probably aren’t real—until he encounters one, Dr. Lionel Bradshaw, inside his neighbor’s burning house. Cal accompanies Lionel on a trip back in time to retrieve a rare set of tumblers, and Cal happily lives out what had formerly been a mere thought experiment. But when a 23 year-old murder threatens the secrecy of the time machine in the present day, the only one who can help is the murdered woman herself—still very much alive somewhere in the past. It’s up to Cal to track her down and learn all he can about her death, before it happens. Cal soon learns that, while the past cannot be changed—the “First Law” of time travel—there is much a time traveler can do in the past. Unfortunately for Cal, this includes the possibility of dying there…
