Queer Poems will be out by November 2014. It's a collection of poems about not just LGBT issues, but all the downtrodden, all the neglect, all the 'less fortunate' people and their experiences.

Here are a couple of examples:

Shadow Whisper

Behind the bleeding veils of coarse
Corrosive cords of linen stiffened
In the breath that freezes stars
And chokes the Moon in solitary
Nights, the blighted cries of voices
Moist with poisoned spells
Of Hell
Are drawn on charcoaled canvas cut
And torn by time
When echoes shadow sparks
In embers stifled under scars
Like drops of thought that thaw in thick
Black holes devouring dry, deserted
Worlds with wanton words of woes
And stares -
Behind the curtains no one cares.

(A poem on domestic violence inspired by Kamille Freske's painting Shadow Whisper)
