Our take
Seventy plus queer and trans writers each put words to a place they had to leave, a version of themselves, a person they couldn't keep. Letters and poems collected here sit side by side, and none of them try to speak for the others. Anthologies like this are rare on this shelf. Most chase a single theme end to end. Arriving in 2026, this one gathers an ache a lot of queer and trans readers recognize but rarely see collected in one book. Read it slow, one entry at a time, rather than start to finish.

Written with immense beauty and devastating power, this anthology brings together the letters and poetry of queer and trans authors writing to places and things they've had to leave behind. The collection includes the work of 70+ authors, and is edited by Lamda Literary award finalist Lexie Bean
