Looking For the Gulf Motel by Richard Blanco Poetry Seasonal Velocities: poems, stories and essays by Ryka AokiĪmericano: Growing up Gay and Latino in the USA by Emanuel Xavier Of course, I'll be happy to add books to the list if you have any suggestions that fit the theme! Here's what I found, arranged by genre: If I was unsure about a book's contents (that is, if I was unsure if the queer characters were prominent, or if I thought the book might be exploitative), I tended to give weight to who the author is (that is, I was more likely to include books I know were written by queer people of color). There were some good books suggested (like Chulito and God Loves Hair) that aren't included because they were published before 2012. It should be said that there's no way this list is exhaustive, or even close. Here's the first of two lists aimed at promoting more diverse queer lit.
