tiny love stories originated from one of the many discussions about the lack of representation of queer love. Society is making progress (though dubiously) towards increased queer representation, but too often protagonists are cis, white, and conventionally attractive. Moreover, mainstream queer stories often revolve around the traumas of coming out, murder, violence, and isolation experienced by queer folks. These are all important topics that inform and shape the queer experience, but they don’t define queer existence.

VOICES is an ongoing interactive poem that collects the individual artistic voices of the QTPOC community; each stanza is written by a different member.
