We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics by Andrea Abi-Karam, Kay Gabriel

4.75

There was so much work I loved in this collection and I'm so grateful it exists. I feel a lot of gratitude for Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel for the work they did to put this together. Like nearly every anthology though some pieces were misses for me. Nothing that was included sullied the other work, it just didn't make it to five stars for me.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicidal thoughts, Mental illness, Transphobia, and Colonisation

There a lot of content warnings for this but all of the triggering content is addressed with grace and intention. Take care of yourself but also know that these poets skillfully bring their personal pain and joy into their words.
