The second section was easily the best.
This is a collection of poetry, quotes, and excerpts from novels all centred on queerness and queer feelings. I enjoyed the poetry quite a bit, and it was a nice surprise to see an excerpt from a favourite classic of mine, The Picture of Dorian Gray. I think the sections themselves were in sound order in comparison to each other, and covered a range of different topics. And I felt different areas of history and different experiences were present.
That being said, these sets of poetry I find aren't well ordered as a whole, and I am sad to say that this is no exception (and by this I am referring to the order of the poetry, and not the order of the sections. I can see people seeing a contradiction to the earlier paragraph which is why I am specifying what I mean). Either that, or I am picky how I like my poetry being ordered, which is a weird thing to be picky about.
