Watty's 2019 Poetry Winner An LGBTQ+ Poetry Collection, about the good, the bad, and the sad of coming out, dating, and existing as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started so small With nothing to say for me at all Just a bird in a world of birds Just a being who has not much to show for themselves I worked hard though Even when everyone else cast me out Threw me out I stayed strong I battled the forces of nature As they came my way I kept going And learned to fly I flew above everyone else And saw what I had become With my wings outstretched I saw who I am; A mockingbird ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Dedicated to Keefe, who supported me when I found myself lost in the midst of my identity~

In a city where love is forbidden and silence is survival, Han sings only when the world is asleep. By day, he ladles soup in a nameless restaurant-his hands marked not by scars, but by unwritten letters and unsaid goodbyes. By night, he writes. Not to be heard, but to remember. Then Jae-hwan appears-a man with eyes like a stanza held too long. A soldier. A stranger. A quiet revolution. Their lives begin to fold into each other-through shared glances, almost-touches, and the aching gravity of what can never be spoken aloud. In a world where names vanish and love is punished, every silence becomes a sacrifice. Told through letters never meant to be read, Letters to My Beloved is a quiet requiem for the love that history tried to erase- a story of longing that lingers like perfume in an empty room, of devotion that survives in shadows, and of hearts that speak, even when their voices can't.

Elle Grayson's guilty pleasure is reading cheesy romance novels. Always has been, always will be. Maybe that's why she's never had a boyfriend - no guy can live up to her expectations of the guys in romance novels. She doesn't think there is one guy that can prove to be even half as decent as guys in books. But when there's somebody set on doing exactly that, things just might start to change.
