Reconnecting Rainbows Press will publish Trust a Poet To…, the debut poetry collection by Tyler Hamilton.

An exploration of intimacy, love, gender, the fantastical, and selfhood, the collection marks Hamilton’s first full-length publication with Reconnecting Rainbows Press.

Trust a Poet To… is a poetic affair which takes place wherever you take it. Moving between tenderness and uncertainty, desire and transformation, the collection invites the reader into a world where feeling is never simple, identity is never fixed, and even the most ordinary moments can become strange, charged, and luminous.

The poems explore the spaces between people, between bodies, between memory and imagination. They ask what it means to be known, to be held, to be changed by love, and to keep becoming yourself in a world that rarely offers easy answers.

Playful, intimate, and sometimes unsettling, Trust a Poet To… holds romance in all its cracks, bends, and folds, without trying to repair it. For readers drawn to poetry that is heartfelt, strange, sensual, questioning, and alive to the complexities of queer experience, Hamilton’s debut offers a voice that is both vulnerable and assured.

Reconnecting Rainbows Press exists to publish work that speaks honestly from the margins, centring LGBTQ+ voices and stories that might otherwise struggle to find space in the literary landscape. In Trust a Poet To…, the press continues its commitment to championing writing that is bold, tender, imaginative, and deeply human.

Trust a Poet To… is available for pre-order now and is due for release on July 1st 2026. There will be a launch event on Friday 3rd July 2026 at The Poetry Cafe in London to celebrate Tyler, this debut collection, and the continuing growth of queer poetry from Reconnecting Rainbows Press.
