Poetry Is Dead Queer issue – first submission!

Recently, I posted about the Queer issue of Poetry Is Dead, which I’m guest editing.

Exciting news! We have received our first poetry submission, which you can read below. Our thanks to our first contributor. Deadline for submissions is June 1st; you can read the guidelines here.

Sorry I can’t help you on this one.
I’m married to a wonderful woman and have no clue about the alternative folks who choose to engage in sexual deviance that condemns the human race… Hope it works out for you.

Something about this poem dissatisfied me aesthetically, so here is an improved version, with the working title “Regards.”

Regards
