This was a delightful surprise. The poetry was beautiful AND it turns out Mr. Percy was gay/queer. He was a lawyer, poet, and planter from Mississippi, openly opposed the KKK, supported Black authors, and was unabashedly involved with men. I had no idea he existed until now & have to do a deep dive into his writings. As a queer Mississippian, learning more about our often-erased heritage is always an emotional but uplifting experience.
