In Still, We Are Sacred, Emanuel Xavier gathers poems of queer survival, memory, and belonging. Moving through faith and doubt, family and chosen kin, love, grief, and joy, these poems honor lives shaped by resistance and care. At once elegy and affirmation, the collection insists on tenderness as a radical act and on the holiness of those who remain.
