"This is a collection of poems by and about gay people.' 'It ranges in time and place from classical Athens to contemporary New York. It ranges in tone and content from celebration to satire. While the collection can, I hope, be read for pleasure, I would like to think of it also as a record, a history of the different ways in which homosexual people have been seen and have seen themselves. Only if we know something about the past is there a chance we can do something about the future. To that extent, I would like to think of the voices collected here as those of encouragement' - Stephen Coote The Penguin Book of Homosexual Verse includes poems: from Sappho, Theocritus, Horace, Virgil, Michelangelo, Shakespeare as well as Goethe, Byron, Verlaine, Whitman, Swinburne, Symonds, Auden and Isherwood and others. many
