Trans Means Transcendence

Join us for Trans Means Transcendence, an evening of poetry and prose celebrating the release of Splendor: Trans Poets. To mark the arrival of this unique new collection from Two Lines Press, listen to local trans authors’ original works as well as excerpts from this new international poetry collection.

Splendor: Trans Poets showcases the work of five international trans poets in a collection that is imaginative, confrontational, funny, and sensual. This event serves as both a book launch and a community gathering, designed to center trans voices and build international trans solidarity through the power of the written word. Come support local creators, connect with your community, and celebrate the vital perspectives of trans writers.
