Bryony Blaze wrote from a place of self-discovery, validating emotion, heartache, and love. They wrote sexy poems and devastating poems. Their words bring a light to the lonely human struggle, the queer struggle, and the intangible desire to love and be loved in a broken body. Bryony Blaze left this world (fuck diabetes) on September 11, 2016. They live on in our hearts, our poems, our dancing bodies, our laughing souls, and the queer space they birthed, "Queer Poetry Takeover." Now too, their words, unedited and combined in this collection, will live on.
