It's exciting to teach the neopronouns workshop for @writingtheother :) they will sell recordings later too, once they are done editing them, so keep an eye out for that!

I'm now reading "Personal Score" by Ellen van Neerven and it's magnificent. The writing style, the approach to the often challenging subject matter... It was no surprise to learn that van Neerven is a poet.

The book's very topical following the World Cup, since it centres on the author's relationship to soccer. As well as their experience growing up First Nations in Meanjin.

I've begun reading Caught In The Act by Shane Jenek AKA Courtney Act.

I should mention that I've been getting all these queer books through Brisbane City Council Libraries - can't praise them enough!

Courtney Act was Brisbane born who, like so many of us, headed south the moment high school finished. Going by the intro, this one should be a hoot!

I finished Pageboy!

I loved Page's often blunt word choice, and also enjoyed how he jumped through time (though I did get a bit lost at times). But this book was a hard one to read.

There just wasn't much light. Even the more positive relationships described tended to be wrapped up in bad times. So, while I admire Page and do recommend this book, I'd advise you to approach it with caution if you're queer and in a bumpy place.

I'm now reading Pageboy, by Elliot Page. It's interesting to read about his experiences of growing up in Nova Scotia, as I usually only hear about that area through the Scottish Gaelic community.

A bheil fios agaibh gur ann à Alba Nuadh a tha Elliot Page? Tha mi a' leughadh an leabhar aige (Pageboy) agus tha e inntinneach a bhith a' leughadh mun sgìre sin taobh a-muigh saoghal na Gàidhlig.

I finished Before We Were Trans and I cannot recommend this book enough.

So many questions that I hadn't found the language to ask were put into words and explored by the author Kit Heyam.

If you're at all interested in the subject of sex and gender and what it means to be human through time and across geographies, get your hands on this book.

Electric Literature - Announcing the 2023 Shortlist for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction - Electric Literature

Extremely excited that Spouseperson @rblemberg is a Le Guin prize finalist!!

electricliterature.com/announc

Doubly so that it is the Birdverse short story collection from Fairwood, I feel like this book has gone a bit underappreciated with RB's other books being out this year, BUT IT IS SO GOOD and I am so happy.

I have a new story in Lightspeed - "Construction Sacrifice"!

"There’s dysphoria, and then there’s turning into a mid-size city."

lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction

This is a story of trans love in difficult circumstances, and it only becomes more timely with every single day.

I was also happy to see a book I blurbed recognized in a different category! All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From by @IzzyXen :) Congrats Izzy!!!

I said that it "contains many stories that deal with heart- and gut-wrenching destruction and loss, but this makes the shards of hope gleam all the brighter."

And this is how to buy a copy:
