New year, new LGBT books! Hopefully the rules of our releases posts are clear, but just to reiterate: we have 8 of those posts, for genres listed below, and we update each one every month with new books coming out (that we know about). Every post covers half a year.
In this one, you can browse the poetry books from January to June of 2023!
