willaful, Read Gay Poems for Red States, which is so powerful. What it's like to grow up in a place you both love and hate, which both loves and hates you. Finding a new place in the world while respecting the aspects of your childhood others sneer at; there are some wonderful poems about the linguistics and accents of Appalachia, and the way poor people take care of each other. I had so many feelings reading this.
