ABOUT THE BOOK
”salt of us is a prayer book for queer folk. It shakes, undulates, weeps and celebrates like we are at the after-party of the revolution, where all walls and closets have been smashed and the brilliant beautiful queer folk, amongst one another so safely, are finally able to sing their hearts whole-heartedly . . .”
--Jeanette Powers, poet, editor, and community organizer from Kansas City, and author of Victimless Crime (Outlandish Press, 2019)
