TRANS-SPLENDOR: Community Book Launch! meTamorphosis x Two Lines Press

We invite you to join us at TRANS-SPLENDOR, a community book launch of Splendor: Trans Poets, a new collection showcasing the breadth of work of five international trans poets. Imaginative, confrontational, funny, and sensual, Two Lines Press is thrilled to bring their fresh perspectives to an English-reading audience. In celebration of Splendor, Two Lines Press is supporting bookstore-organized reading series to uplift trans voices and meTamorphosis is ecstatic to collaborate with them! Part book launch, part community event, TRANS-SPLENDOR is an opportunity to build international trans solidarity through poetry. We are grateful to host a lineup of local community organizers reading poems from Splendor, with opening performances by Windafire and Sue Flay-Munroe. Splendor will be available for purchase during the event!
About Splendor: Trans Poets:
Introducing readers to five trans and nonbinary poets, Splendor is an ode to queer bodies, with previously unpublished translations from Argentina, Denmark, Korea, Norway, and Quebec. From the irreverent and irresponsible to the quiet and meditative, these poems decentralize our ideas of trans experience and poetics.
Splendor presents a sliver of the wide possibilities of what trans literature can offer. This is trans literature that transcends borders and binaries in order to engage with a messy world. As Camila Sosa Villada writes, “Let us keep loving one another in this swamp of contradictions.
