Squares & Rebels is thrilled to announce the forth-
coming release of Raymond Luczak's QDA: A Queer
Disability Anthology. Featuring fiction, poetry, non-
fiction, and comics by 48 writers from around the
world, QDA proves that intersectionality isn't just a
buzzword. QDA is a penetrating and unforgettable
look into the hearts and souls of those defiant enough
to explore their own vulnerabilities and demonstrate
their own strengths. Two quotes below should give you
an idea of what to expect:
"Queer sexuality and disability places me so far out-
side the realms of the everyday that it renders people
silent." —Jax Jacki Brown
