"Powerful, affirming, and important reading for young people and the adults in their lives. (contributor bios) (Anthology. 12-18)" -- Kirkus Reviews

"A celebration of marginalized youth voices that refuse to be unheard or forgotten."

-Roya Marsh

"In a time when heartlessness, greed, and hate are not just rampant, but elected, these words are lanterns and fireworks in the dark. May reading this anthology not only wrap you in the sanctuary of queer love, but may it be a reminder of exactly what is at stake. Love will always defeat evil; these pieces are testimonies and psalms of that truth."

-Danez Smith, author of Homie

"This unflinching anthology pulls the truths about queerness, love, and the indelible power of healing. Every piece brings us a step closer to an all encompassing definition of love as an act of resistance. These young writers refuse to stay quiet in the face of silencing and censorship. The Light Looks Like Me is the soundtrack of resilience and an anthem for survival."

-Roya Marsh, author of dayliGht and savings time

"My closeted-gay inner child found healing here. The Light Looks Like Me is a masterful anthology of lyrical language about love in all its infinite forms. These brilliant and brave youth voices are a salve for any person in search of poetic stories that will inspire hope, joy, grace, and freedom. It is truly a bright and sparkling literary gem."

-Tony Keith Jr., author of Knucklehead and How the Boogeyman Became a Poet

"The Light Looks Like Me is meaningful, moving, and often surprising as it explores different experiences of queer love."
