Description
This book could so easily have been written as a museum piece, preserving and archiving dusty antiquities from the past. Instead, Juno rewrites the rules on what it means to be a Queer Elder, spotlighting these stories as vital works of art. The pages are heavy with love, legacy and lessons we can all learn from. This work is a huge explosion of life, curated by an artist who knows first hand the power of passion and what it feels like to exceed everyones expectations. Queer Elders is not a graveyard, its a glorious garden inviting us to stop and admire the beauty of living. -- Dr. Paul Taylor-Pitt, author of Still Here! Still Queer! Now What?
