Publisher Description

AASECT Book Award for General Audience

'A joy to read' ESSIE DENNIS
'A beautifully written collection' JUNO ROCHE


We're here. We're queer. We're fat.

This one-of-a-kind collection of prose and poetry radically explores the intersection of fat and queer identities, showcasing new, emerging and established queer and trans writers from around the world.

Celebrating fat and queer bodies and lives, this book challenges negative and damaging representations of queer and fat bodies and offers readers ways to reclaim their bodies, providing stories of support, inspiration and empowerment.

In writing that is intimate, luminous and emotionally raw, this anthology is a testament to the diversity and power of fat queer voices and experiences, and they deserve to be heard.

Fat and Queer Reviews

4.0
“I think that maybe it was a me problem, but I found it difficult to distinguish between short stories and essays, except they mentioned they were essays. I can admit that you could see there was an intention of how each of them were ordered, but I think some of them were completely different moods, which make the pacing kinda off in some parts. The themes and topics these poems, short stories, and essays talk about are neglected themes and topics in widespread media. Even after 4 years of this, I think there's been some improvement, but there is still so much to do.a”
“This was a great read. I loved all of the different stories and experiences. I also love that each story was a different format which made it feel exciting and new each time. I will say there were a few, that I did not connect with, but it didn’t make it any less enjoyable.”
