As part of this term's series Transforming Identities, Adapting Texts, the Queer@King's reading group will discuss in this meeting selected poems from We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics (Nightboat Books, October 2020), edited by Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel.

On the Nightboat Books website, the editors describe the anthology "as an experiment into how far literature, written from an identitarian standpoint, can go as a fellow traveler 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".

Content Warnings: Violent Language, Sexual Content.
