About The Dinner Party:

Cat Fitzpatrick returns to the chaotic and adorable world of the trans femme with The Dinner Party, a jubilant celebration of queerness and a tender ode to how communities are formed through fostering support, joy, and love.

In the title piece, a riotous post-pandemic dinner party inspires musings on love and gender. Then there is “A Stay in the Country,” a short arcadian pageant; “Baby Book,” about the trials and tribulations of making babies as queer and transsexual couples; “Letter to Crabstick,” an epistolary friendship; and “Uxorious Sonnets,” a collection of eight love poems.

The Dinner Party releases on Tuesday, May 19. Preorder your copy here!

She is the author of the poetry collection Glamour­puss (Topside Press, 2016), and the co-editor of the anthology Meanwhile, Elsewhere: Science Fiction & Fantasy from Transgender Writers, which won the ALA Stonewall Award for Literature.
