Love Speaks Its Name: Gay and Lesbian Love Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

From Sappho to Shakespeare to Cole Porterâ€“a marvelous and wide-ranging collection of classic gay and lesbian love poetry.

The poets represented here include Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, Gertrude Stein, Federico GarcÃa Lorca, Djuna Barnes, Constantine Cavafy, Elizabeth Bishop, W. H. Auden, and James Merrill. Their poems of love are among the most perceptive, the most passionate, the wittiest, and the most moving we have. From Michelangeloâ€™s â€œLove Misinterpretedâ€ to NoÃ«l Cowardâ€™s â€œMad About the Boy,â€ from May Swensonâ€™s â€œSymmetrical Companionâ€ to Muriel Rukeyserâ€™s â€œLooking at Each Other,â€ these poems take on both desire and its higher power: love in all its tender or taunting variety.
