# Event Details - **Event Name**: Book Tour: Queer & Feminist Poetry Anthology Vol. II - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: Queer Joy & Gender Euphoria EditionAbout this EventJoin Unwanted Words at Bibliotheek Rotterdam for an evening of poetry, community, and queer celebration as we continue the tour of the Book Tour: Queer & Feminist Poetry Anthology Vol. II Gender Euphoria Edition.This bilingual anthology brings together the voices of LGBTQ+ poets and spoken word artists living in the Netherlands to celebrate queer joy, gender euphoria, softness, pleasure, pride, and the radical power of imagining ourselves beyond survival.Too often, queer stories are expected to center pain, struggle, or loss. While those experiences matter, they are not the whole story. Queer life is also friendship. It is tenderness. It is dancing in kitchens. It is desire. It is finding language for yourself. It is becoming. Through poetry, this collection invites us to celebrate the beauty, resilience, and limitless possibilities of queer existence.The evening opens with a curated showcase featuring poets published in the anthology, followed by a short break and an open mic where audience members are invited to share their own work. Whether you're coming to listen, perform, or simply connect with others, this is an evening to celebrate queer voices and the power of poetry to bring people together.Program19:00 - 19:45 Featured readings by poets from the anthology19:45 - 20:00 Break20:00 - 20:30 Open micPractical informationDate: Friday October 16th 2026Time: 19.00 - 20.30Location: Centrale Bibliotheek Rotterdam, Het Podium - Librijesteeg 4, 3011 HN RotterdamEntrance: Free, please register via Eventbrite.About the AnthologyQueer & Feminist Poetry Anthology Vol. II: Queer Joy & Gender Euphoria Edition is a bilingual publication (Dutch and English) featuring more than 50 LGBTQ+ poets and spoken word artists living in the Netherlands.
