In this Live From NYPL event, Stephanie Burt discusses the work of editing Super Gay Poems: LGBTQIA+ Poetry After Stonewall (Belknap Press, 2025), an anthology of fifty-one poems with essays by Burt, in a conversation with David Groff, along with poets Marisa Crawford, Mark Doty, Marilyn Hacker, and Jee Leong Koh reading and discussing their poems. The anthology is featured in “The LGBTQ+ Literary Resistance” in the May/June issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
"The struggle for true openness and intimacy is a lifelong struggle for all of us, gay and straight alike," wrote Paul Monette in Last Watch of the Night: Essays Too Personal and Otherwise. In 1992, three years before his death, Monette won the National Book Award in nonfiction for Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story, an autobiography detailing his early life and his struggles with his sexuality. Authors David Groff and Carol Muske-Dukes speak about Monette's literary and cultural legacy in this clip from Open Road Media.
