Author Event | Queer Nature on AADL.TV

Join us for a conversation with the editor and three contributors to Queer Nature: A Poetry Anthology. Poets Tamiko Beyer, Joy Ladin, Amber Flora Thomas, and Michael Walsh will discuss the role of "nature" in queer and trans lives and in poetry. What is queer nature? Who gets to be natural or unnatural and why? How queer or trans is the earth's flora and fauna? Does straight nature exist and could it be a false myth? Who gets to belong in a land or to a place and how do people do so without colonizing?
