The bold and beautiful third collection from Polari Prize longlisted poet Nathan Evans explores queer heritage through personal relationships. Ancestors from antiquity to Freddie Mercury can be discovered within its pages. Edited by TS Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor, it is published to mark LGBTQIA+ History Month 2026.

Homography: mapping multiple perspectives of a single subject; words with same form, different meaning (see gay); homosexual history approached through autobiography; projective transformation (from personal to political plane); the third poetry collection from Polari Prize longlisted Nathan Evans, host of Bold Queer Poetry Soirée, edited by Joelle Taylor.

George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Derek Jarman and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern are just some of the icons you’ll find within poems exploring queer heritage through queer relationships, using imagery drawn from the natural world and the underworld of fetish, in forms as diverse as the LGBTQ+ community, with humour, hope and honesty.
