Dene is back in the Cheap Seats for a night of queer poetry. Brought to us by Button Poetry, the performers explore autobiographical themes of love and attraction and stories of gender and misgendering. There is light and shade, some laughs and some strong language, and some darker moments shared.

The performers and poems featured are:

Theresa Davis – Like, Like

Denice Froham – Dear straight people

Lauren Zuniga – Confessions of an uneducated queer

Ethan Smith – A letter to the girl I used to be

Ollie Schiminkey – Boobs

Stacey Waite – Newark International Airport

Stacey Waite – The kind of man I am at the DMV

Wyatt Fleckenstein – Labels

The post Queer poetry appeared first on Cheap Seats.
