Description

2021 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST

Finalist for the Publishing Triangle Award for Trans and Gender-Variant Literature

Editors Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel offer We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics as an experiment into how far literature, written from an identitarian standpoint, can go as a fellow traveller with social movements and revolutionary demands. Writing in dialogue with emancipatory political movements, the intergenerational writers assembled here imagine an altogether overturned world in poems that pursue the particular and multiple trans relationships to desire, embodiment, housing, sex, ecology, history, pop culture, and the working day.
