Pondering how to open up this seasonal salute to our local LGBTQ community in a particularly rhapsodic way? Let me propose a prose kickoff to Austin Pride month, where Austin’s first-ever poet laureate Zell Miller III hosts a lineup of local queer poets including Jenny Larson, khattieQ, Micailah Ocaii, and G.E. Loveless. Other interested LGBTQ bards can also perform a three-minute open mic slot, as long as they sign up via the APL’s Eventbrite. – James Scott
