Sounds interesting. Might add it to my reading list.
The e-book of my collection Queer as Folk Tales where I gather ancient myths and legends and reimagine them with queer lovers at their heart is now published. Characters and narratives even straight people can enjoy ;-) a.co/d/9GkGz81 See the replies for other vendors.

BIG TREE
For I am
The great Boreal Forest
In winter
Who longs for the birds
That have left for the season
And You are
The sum and song
Of a billion bird migration
Yet to return.
