If there were any poet to whom we could entrust re-imagining the world, Margaret Rhee would be at the top of my list. This poem is quintessential Rhee: fiercely gentle, gently fierce, & thick in its lyric radiance while never hesitating to make clear its message of social justice & investment in queer futurity. Only Rhee could take as public a word as love & turn over its pieces in her mind until it was made whole & holy & wholly new. — Meg Day on “Dear Love”
