We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics

By Andrea Abi-Karam

Book Overview

Finalist for the 2021 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ Anthology
Finalist for the 2021 Publishing Triangle Leslie Feinberg Award for Trans and Gender-Variant Literature

A collection of formally inventive writing by trans poets against capital and empire.

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 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.
