Read With Pride: An LGBTQIA+ and Allies Book Club

Get ready for this upcoming July book club. Our member Scott suggests: "LGBTQIAA+ Poetry
The next Cedar Rapids PFLAG book discussion group will take place at the Hiawatha Public Library on Monday, July 21 at 6 PM. Our focus will be poetry written by (or about) LGBTQIAA+ persons and we invite you to come prepared to read a poem you enjoy or even a poem that you have written! As you know, the poets are brilliant, passionate, and countless, including (but not limited to) Mary Oliver, Walt Whitman, Trace Peterson, Langston Hughes, Frank O'Hara, Audre Lorde, Sappho, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and many others.
Please enjoy the poetry found at the following links; we look forward to having you read us your favorites on July 21st!
