Written in an array of “aesthetic desires,” We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics serves as a vibrant, riotous celebration of trans-liberation. The anthology both introduces a range of fresh voices and underscores the work and activism of legends like Sylvia Rivera and Leslie Feinberg. As per co-editor Abi-Karam in an interview with them, the collection is first and foremost community-driven and centers “poetry … as an accomplice with radical politics and with revolution.”
