Summary "Editors Andrea Abi-Karam and Kay Gabriel offer 'We Want it All : An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics' as an experiment into how far literature, written from an identitarian standpoint, can go as a fellow traveler with social movements and revolutionary demands. Writing in dialogue with emancipatory political movements, the intergenerational writers assembled here imagine an altogether overturned world in poems that pursue the particular and multiple trans relationships to desire, embodiment, housing, sex, ecology, history, pop culture, and the working day."--taken from publisher website.
