It’s a new year and our podcast kicks things off looking into the recent flourishing of LGBTQIA+ literature in Aotearoa. Chris Tse reads two of his poems for us and we discuss his work co-editing “Out Here: An Anthology of Takatāpui and LBGTQIA+ writers from Aotearoa”. We then speak to Chelsea from the new Alphabet Book Club: a store and community designed specifically for LBGTQIA+ New Zealanders and our allies.
