Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics

ed. T. C. Tolbert & Trace Peterson

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.
