In Their Voices

Their Voices is a conversation across time, where Charlie Becker listens closely to the writers who shaped him and answers back in poems. Rooted in a lifelong kinship with LGBTQ+ literary ancestors, this collection explores identity, art, and becoming with both playfulness and resolve. Becker delights in the "un-humdrum'd," transforming the everyday into something charged and alive. From the curious magic and steady pulse of these poems, Charlie invites readers to think about thinking itself and to recognize the boundless, world-altering power of voices that have too often lived at the margins.
