"ignite the stars" - A Queer Prisoner's Poetry Anthology Vol. 1
"Why? Why can't we all live free?" -H. Lee
"How can you blame me for surviving?" -Mecca
"Why do we always want to hurry? And do we really gotta go?" -Fuller
This collection of poems by incarcerated writers poses these questions and more - exploring love, loss of faith, queerness, and dreams of a life beyond brick and barbed wire.
Proceeds from this anthology go back to the contributing poets so that they can access commissary goods & gender-affirming items, healthcare and legal support.
Edited by Ollie Mills. Features poems from 24 incarcerated writers.
