Illustrated Poetry Anthology Featured on Kickstarter

By Maryann Yin 

Kiernan Sjursen-Lien hopes to raise $2,950 on Kickstarter for an anthology entitled A Gay Ol’ Time. We’ve embedded a video about the project above.

Here’s more from the Kickstarter page: “A Gay Ol’ Time will be an approximately 110 page anthology of 48 portraits of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit Americans born in the 1800s, with accompanying short biographical quatrains. It aims to shed a little more light on these people history tends to forget, memorialize them in watercolor portraits, and invite its readers to research them further.”
