In this Queers at the End of the World Presents, poet Holly Raymond joins us to read from her work in We Want it All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics, published by Nightboat Books in 2020. We get to nerd out about poetry, goblins, slicing cold cuts at Wawa and fan translations of Final Fantasy with Holly, and she shares a bit of new work too. ALSO We Want It All is the only anthology to contain writing by both Sylvia Rivera and your co-host Nat Mesnard, who’s gonna read one of their poems as well! Edited by Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel. Find it here.
