Up//Roar - Poems of Queer Resistance

Arachne Press has long been a champion of LGBTQ+ writers, and our first anthology of LGBTQ+ poetry Joy//Us, was something of a hit! It was a strange moment, publishing joyful poems, that celebrated all that is best about our community/ies and lives. Times have moved on fast and here we are now with Up//Roar Poems of Queer Resistance. So what is that? Coming out as Queer Resistance! Living bold as Queer Resistance! Pushing back as Queer Resistance! Shouting out as Queer Resistance! Showing up as Queer Resistance! Knowing history as Queer Resistance! Doing the work as Queer Resistance! Politics as Queer Resistance! Creativity as Queer Resistance! The exclamation mark as Queer Resistance! Now is the time for Queer Resistance!
