In this episode I read a few poems from, give an overview of, and discuss how I would teach Willie Edward Taylor Carver, Jr.’s incredible collection, Gay Poems for Red States.
If you’re teaching in a school that is currently inhospitable to queer literature, know that there are poems in this collection could still work in your classroom, so this episode could still be useful for you!
