In honor of the victims killed at Pulse, writers David Lopez and Luis Lopez-Maldonado created The Brillantina Project because, in their words, "Amidst the darkness we seek the light and hope our words will heal…even if it’s only for the moment." I'm honored that they accepted two of my poems for inclusion, publishing "Weeks before the First Anniversary of Marriage Equality" this past Tuesday.
Similarly, Glass: A Journal of Poetry, published a special issue this month entitled Pulsamos: LGBTQ Poets Respond to the Pulse Nightclub Shooting.
Check out both of these special projects!
For anyone who shares my interest in documentary poetry, I especially recommend Li Yun Alvarado's "Pulse Puertorriqueño: An Elegy in Collage" on The Brillantina Project for both its form and its emotional impact.
