The first of its kind, Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics, gathers together a diverse range of 55 poets with varying aesthetics and backgrounds. In addition to generous samples of poetry by each trans writer, the book also includes “poetics statements”—reflections by each poet that provide context for their work covering a range of issues from identification and embodiment to language and activism.

Poets include Samuel Ace, Julian Talamantez Brolaski, Micha Cardenas, kari edwards, Duriel Harris, Joy Ladin, Dawn Lundy Martin, Eileen Myles, Trish Salah, Max Wolf Valerio, John Wieners, Kit Yan, and more.

Voyager, there are no bridges. One builds them as one walks.

May 30, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In the introduction co-editor TC Tolbert quotes Gloria E. Anzaldúa: "Voyager, there are no bridges. One builds them as one walks." Anzaldúa's words are beautiful and evocative and empowering (thinking of myself as a 'voyager' brings goosebumps). I don't know if Tolbert had future readers in mind specifically as the quote is framed within an account of the editor's personal life experience and wish to make TTL a reality, but these words are the perfect embodiment of my voyage across the 500+ page collection of poetry and poetics statements.

My favorite aspect of TTL is the biographical emphasis on the featured poets who were encouraged to submit "manifestos" to accompany their work. Stand out personal statements come from CAConrad (of course), Drew Krewer (who wrote "I buy stuff just like everyone else"), Eric Karin ("what chimeric-cryptid will I become?"), GR Keer ("to be queer is to be queried"), j/j hastain ("cyborgian"), Jenny Johnson, Joy Ladin, Julian Talamantez Brolaski (his "Phonosemantics and the Real" is amazing), kari edwards (best), Micha Cárdenas, Monica / Nico Peck (numbered list of real poetry definitions), Trish Salah, and Zoe Tuck ("To go towards the site(s) of my confusion, fear, anger and abide there.").

Queer Narratives

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book presents queer narratives in a way that unmasks the performative features of queerness. I'm using this text in my Intersectional Queer Ethics class this fall!

Beautiful book, great read!

January 29, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of the most engaging anthologies I've ever seen or read--both as physical object and in its powerful contents. I love that each poet gets to really show off (everybody gets several pages), and I love the "poetics statements," and I love the photos. Congratulations to Nightboat Books and the editors of this fine collection. And to all the poets inside. What a beauty!!
