Praise for The World in Us

"The selection of verse is mature, nuanced, and skillful...Call them what you will-gay poets, lesbian poets, new wave poets-though 'first-rate poets' suffices quite nicely." --Time Out New York

"The World in Us contains more than enough budding and seasoned poets to be discovered, savored, and prized for generations to come." --The Advocate
