So heckin honoured to have a poem in @eff-able.bsky.social: a spicy anthology of queer crip poetry, edited by JP Seabright and George Violet Parker 🥰🌈🌶️🔥

You can buy a copy of the anthology and find out more about the project at effable.uk
Photo of the front cover of ‘eff-able - a spicy anthology of queer crip poetry’, edited by JP Seabright & George Violet Parker. The cover image is a purple and red drenched photograph of a person arching their neck backwards, fingers at their collarbone. The anthology sits on a background featuring pink, white and black dripping paint. Photo of a poem from the anthology ‘eff-able.’ The poem by Rae White is titled ‘There's no cure, but kink helps’. The poem is dedicated ‘For Ori’. The first lines of the poem read, ‘Me: Part-time boi / full-time faggot. / You: Coquettishly / kissable with chap- / stick lips and upper lip face fuzz. / My spine's click / echoes the room / as I pounce on you. You giggle, I giggle.’ The open page sits on a background featuring pink, white and black dripping paint. Back cover of the anthology ‘eff-able’, sitting on a background featuring pink, white and black dripping paint. The text on the back cover reads, ‘Bringing together nearly 40 poets from across the globe, eff-able celebrates the sensual and sexual experiences of queer crip life. Covering kink, connection, taboos, and tenderness, these poems rejoice in the erotic empowerment of all bodies, unveiling intimate insights into a much-marginalised part of the LGBTQ+ community. With poetry that is bold, boundary-pushing, and more than a little revealing, eff-able provides a poetic glimpse into the sexy and sensual aspects of queer disabled life.’ A quote from Lucy Webster reads, ‘A delicious anthology that reasserts what we always knew: queer crips are hot as hell.’

New poem alert! I'm in @eff-able.bsky.social, thanks to George and JP for inviting me along. Here are the first two lines of a double sonnet, a very Suffolk take on hookups (after all, what's hotter than a three hour bus ride to cover a spitting distance?) Grateful to be part of this urgent project
A white hand holding a book in front of a bookshelf. The book is Eff-able: a spicy anthology of queer crip poetry. The cover shows someone bearing their neck, holding their head high, in infra red light. A snippet of a poem by Karl Knights, called 'What Gay Porn Doesn't Show.' The first two lines read, The ultimate tease, the three-hour bus trip give or take thirty minutes, to his front door.
