ALT The cover of "Xenocultivars: Stories of Queer Growth" by Isabela Oliveira and Jed Sabin, with title and byline in dark brown against a light brown wall under an arched window looking out on a vibrant garden. On the windowsill are succulents in trans pride colors, and a climbing vine that is red at the base and extends through the rainbow, with purple at the top. Above the succulents is a rainbow dragonfly. Through the window is a garden with a pond and two trees, one with a knot in rainbow colors and mushrooms in pansexual colors. In the pond are lily pads in genderqueer colors. There is a green path snaking past flower and vegetable patches and planter boxes, through a fence into a field beyond. The front of the path is framed with tulips in asexual colors on one side and lilies in pansexual colors on the other side. There are flowers in the colors of bisexual and polysexual pride, and leafy vegetables in the colors of aromantic, lesbian, nonbinary, genderfluid, and genderqueer pride.
