When I started at Foglifter Press, back in 2016, I'd just left a formal education that rarely included queer and trans authors and was inflected with an undercurrent of suspicion toward any reference to identity, so couldn't imagine daring to write about my own queerness from fear that I'd be relegated to the "gay shelf." But Foglifter soon introduced me to a growing, vibrant community of LGBTQIA writers who wrote fearlessly and whom I read voraciously. Only when I took their lead and started letting in the queerness did my poems start to speak with my own voice. And, once I let the queerness in, I started being able to address other seemingly unsayable subjects, such as intergenerational trauma and healing, the constant, low-level terror of inhabiting a female body, and the violent racial legacy of whiteness in the American south. Foglifter showed me a better world was possible and made me feel brave enough to write toward it.”![]()
