"Award-winning writer Joelle Barron looks back at history through queer eyes in their second poetry collection. Excerpts from a Burned Letter places the experiences of historical figures and fictional characters in modern contexts--and makes their queerness explicit. This collection highlights the circular nature of time, demonstrating how even in a post-marriage-equality world, queer experiences and queer histories still face erasure."--
