TRANSGENDER, NONBINARY, GENDERQUEER and TWO-SPIRIT POETS YOU SHOULD READ!

Here's a non-exhaustive list in alphabetical order by author last name. The majority listed here have published full-length poetry collections and/or chapbooks, but some have not, and have published poems in publications you can find online. Some also write in other genres, as well, and/or make art in other mediums. Consider reblogging it and adding to it if you so desire. My background is primarily in "academic" poetry, for better or worse, and I'm less knowledgeable about slam poetry/poets who don't publish in avenues approved by the academy or are not in academic circles. I've only listed poets here whose work I have read. So there are certainly people worth reading that I'm missing.

Andrea Abi-Karam

Samuel Ace

Jada Renée Allen

Justice Ameer

Ryka Aoki

Cameron Awkward-Rich

Noah Baldino

Ari Banias

Kay Ulanday Barrett

Oliver Baez Bendorf

Julian Talamantez Brolaski

Stephanie Burt

Kayleb Rae Candrilli

Jos Charles

Ching-In Chen

Travis Hedge Coke

CAConrad

jayy dodd

J Jennifer Espinoza

T. Fleischmann

Kay Gabriel

Aeon Ginsberg

torrin a. greathouse

Kamden Hilliard

Stephen Ira

Cyrée Jarelle Johnson

Rickey Laurentiis

Dawn Lundy Martin

Noor Ibn Najam

Trace Peterson

Raquel Salas Rivera

Trish Salah

Danez Smith

TC Tolbert

Chrysanthemum Tran

Joshua Whitehead

Kit Yan

In addition, two wonderfully edited trans poetry anthologies published by Nightboat Books that include many of these writers' work:

Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics, edited by TC Tolbert and Trace Peterson

We Want it All: A Radical Anthology of Trans Poetics, edited by Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel

Also, some online literary journals regularly publishing trans and nonbinary poetry:

https://foglifterjournal.com/

https://www.peachmgzn.com/

https://beestungmag.com/

The current moment is a very exciting time for trans poetics. These are brilliant poets and thinkers publishing work that's worth your time. Poetry is not everyone's cup of tea, certainly, but I wish more people knew about how many awesome trans poets are out there right now making amazing and important art.

I’m a boy and I kiss other boys.

I’m a boy and I was not born a boy.

I’m a boy and I use unconventional pronouns.

I’m a boy and I want to live as a boy.

I’m a boy and I want to be free to say that out loud.

I’m a boy and I want to live without fear of being hurt.

Just like the other boys.

My friend is a girl and she likes boys.

My friend is a girl and she was not born a girl.

My friend is a girl and uses she/her.

My friend is a girl and she wants to be called a girl, not a slur.

My friend is a girl and she should be allowed to live as a girl.

My friend is a girl and she shouldn’t be assaulted because she is a girl.

Just like the other girls.

My sibling is nonbinary and they like every gender.

My sibling is nonbinary and they were not born that way.

My sibling is nonbinary and uses whatever pronouns they feel like.

My sibling is nonbinary and wants to be perceived as a person too.

My sibling is nonbinary and should be allowed to choose what they call themselves.

My sibling is nonbinary and shouldn’t be shoved under the rug because their gender identity “doesn’t make sense”.

Just like other people.

WE ARE PEOPLE.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

I am a fawn. I am a fae. I am the leaves in a thriving forest, the angry waters of the sea. I am the clouds, the burning stars above. I am warmth on cold nights. The moon to guide your way. I am ever changing, but always the same. I am rage and comfort, hatred and kindness. I am a warrior, a peacemaker. An anarchist, a pacifist. I am me, unashamedly me.

But for simplicities sake, I am nonbinary.

I will always identify in some way with women, even though I am not a woman, I know what it is to be one in the eyes of a man. I know what it is like to be taught to fear men before being able to read, and to before being able to vote understanding why.

I often think of all the women who came before who gave me the rights i have today, the women who made it possible for me to read and to vote.

and I think of the women who will some day only learn those things and never why to fear men.

because even though I am not a woman, I know what it is like to be one in the eyes of a man. And that, my dear, is the worst place to be a woman.

Ok kava really does give you vivid dreams. Tried some kava candy my dad gave me one evening and in my dreams I had a long conversation with some guy abt the classical piano works of Erik Satie. The gnossienes specifically. No. 2 was his favorite but I'm more partial to No. 1. his T shirt was blue. Also my pubes were gone for some reason

#there was a transphobic guy in my dream who silently got up and left the building after i mentioned being nonbinary it was funny as fuck #also a sulky guy with shaggy black hair who kept being a dick to me because he had a crush on me #and two girls with purple dyed hair who were so sweet when i complimented them #also a tall slutty guy in a V neck who unbuttoned my shirt halfway and then wandered off #also a very kind 19th century poet man who slept in a barn #and a 19th century serving girl looking lady who kept stalking me

Joy to the Queers

There's laughing in the streets,

Sounds of good joy

Flags flow in the wind,

Music blasting in the open air

And to think,

That what got us here

Was Black trans women

And drag queens

After decades of hate,

We finally thrive

After decades of fear

We finally strive

Queer history is here,

And we will not hide

We will not sit and watch

The tides go by

Queer joy is important,

Maybe more than pride

Joy that we are here,

Joy that others are near

Joy that we can live

Not just survive

Joy that all of us

Can finally thrive

Joy to the Queers,

Ignoring the jeers

Joy to the Queers,

Well into their years

Sipping on beer

Joy to the Queers,

Who died

But were not forgotten

Joy to us all,

For making it this far

As we march in the streets,

People will hear us sing

No one can ignore,

The joy of a thousand Queers
