Description

Please join us in Amsterdam for the presentation of the Queer & Feminist Poetry Anthology Vol. II: Queer Joy & Gender Euphoria Edition by the queer poetry platform Unwanted Words.

This anthology was created by asking for submissions reflecting on queer joy and
gender euphoria. Not because joy is easy. But because joy matters. Too often, queer stories are expected to center pain, struggle, or survival. While those experiences are real and important, they are not the whole story.

Queer life is also friendship. It is pleasure. It is dancing in kitchens. It is finding language for yourself. It is tenderness. It is desire. It is community. It is becoming.

Together, these writers offer visions of queer life that are expansive, intimate, playful, vulnerable, and vibrantly alive.
