Of the Queer Foreigner

"Of the Queer Foreigner" is a raw, unflinching collection of poems by Ema Sol, written since immigrating to the United States from Venezuela in 2017. Exploring queerness, displacement, neurodivergence, and mental health, these poems confront rage, longing, intimacy, and survival with honesty and intensity. They trace the complexities of identity at the intersections of self and society, offering witness to both struggle and resilience. This anthology is a testament to enduring, feeling deeply, and finding beauty and tenderness even in the darkest moments.
