Hand in Hand with Love: An anthology of queer classic poetry

An electrifying anthology of queer poetry through the ages, edited by Dr Simon Avery, specialist in queer history and culture.

A celebration of queer voices throughout the ages, Hand in Hand with Love features an electrifying range of poems from Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Christina Rossetti, Wilfred Owen, and many more.

From Sappho and the Ancient Greeks to Edna St. Vincent Millay and the modernists, this luminous anthology champions and redefines the spectrum of queer poetry - from visionary writers whose only safe space to express their intimate thoughts was on the page, to the pioneering poets who paved the way for decades to come. Together, these dynamic voices offer a vivid archive of queer identity to be celebrated, discovered and treasured.
