Just in time for Christmas, [Fourteen Poems'] latest issue is a snapshot of the most exciting contemporary queer poets around.

Celebrating queer poetry, our latest issue of fourteen poems combines well-known poets with some fresh faces.

With 14 poems in every issue, we hope to offer a snapshot of where queer writing is currently.

Whether it’s shaving your head with a loved one, reclaiming language that was once cut off to you, or subverting ideas of connection, there’s a poem here for you.

Read them all in one sitting, or savour each one as you go. We hope you love these fourteen poems as much as we do.
