Queer Poem-a-Day is a unique podcast series for Pride Month, presenting a public archive of poems written and read by contemporary LGBTQIA+ poets. For this fifth year, we are sharing a poem each weekday in June on our podcast and on our website. Check out our audio trailer below, featuring a collage of some of our voices for 2025!
Episodes of poets reading their poems will be released each weekday, starting Monday, June 2, 2025 on the Deerfield Public Library Podcast feed. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts—or follow along as this webpage is updated each day! We also invite you to check out our archives from year one, year two, year three’s “Lineage Edition,” and year four.
Queer Poem-a-Day is founded and co-directed by poet and professor Lisa Hiton and Dylan Zavagno, Adult Services Coordinator at the Library and host of the Deerfield Public Library Podcast. Music for this fifth year of our series is “L’Ange Verrier” from Le Rossignol Éperdu by Reynaldo Hahn, performed by pianist Daniel Baer.
We are once again grateful to have received generous support from both the Friends of the Deerfield Public Library and the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission.
Queer Poem-a-Day is a program from the Adult Services Department at the Library and may include adult language.
