Description
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Winner of the Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize, selected by Natalie Diaz. Whiting Award winner Kayleb Rae Candrilli's second full-length book, ALL THE GAY SAINTS, is a collection of trans joy and resilience. Focused on love, partnership, and cultivating the landscape of one’s own body, ALL THE GAY SAINTS seeks happiness in a world saturated with transphobia and marred by climate change. And though this world is finite, these poems want you to live forever. They will unbarb your body if you let them.
