In 2024, Harvard University launched a well-received course on Taylor Swift, taught by Stephanie Burt, a notable literary critic. Alongside this, Burt released an anthology titled "Super Gay Poems," highlighting LGBTQ poetry from post-Stonewall 1969 to the present. In an interview, she expressed the profound emotional and intellectual impact of the poems, noting readers' diverse connections to them—be it personal resonance, new experiences, or appreciation for their beauty and depth. She aims to make such enriching literary experiences accessible to a broad audience.
There are poems where we read it and we say, 'Wow, that's me.' And there are poems where we read it and we say, 'Wow, I didn't know that can happen.'
I like making those experiences available to readers, whether it’s beauty, elegance, humor, or sadness that resonates with them.
