My grandma just told me a story about her uncle Pat. He was definitely queer, and possibly non-binary, and poet. All of his poetry was written on the back of old pieces of paper and stuff.

He was kicked out of my grandmas house when she was 7 by her homophobic father. He lived in a polyamorous relationship with 2 other men, which is very cool considering this was in the 1950s.

I just read one of his poems now, it’s beautiful

does anyone know anything at all about how I could get this posthumously published? he died in 1955

please boost if you can, I’m very keen on doing this
