There Are Trans People Here
by H. Melt
This is a collection of poetry focussing on trans issues. Some poems wish for a trans utopia, others focus on the trans joy that already exists and again others deal with issues surrounding antisemitism and racism and the dangers conversatives and Nazis pose to marginalized communities and why it is important for all of us to stand on side by side with other marginalized people.
The poems are not really anything spectacular on a technical level and there is a lot of very surface level trans history repeated here, so I did not find myself particularly invested. The most interesting poems were the personal ones and not the ones dealing with history.
I was hoping for something more emotional, but there were still some pieces that I enjoyed such as "On my way to liberation", "Giovanni's room" and "Trans Lit". Unfortunately otherwise it was not really my style.
