Very excited to share that my poem "play marbles" has been published in Sinister Wisdom 140: Golden! Sinister Wisdom is a multicultural lesbian literary & art journal founded in 1976, a living archive that celebrates the multiplicity of lesbian identities across races, classes, genders, abilities, and lived experiences.

I wrote this poem a while ago, way back in 2024, before I had even begun to consider medical transition. I had spent my life, and continue to spend it, looking like my father's side of the family and the women in it. I find as I begin to transition, I still do, maybe even more so. I think the ability to change my body reflects the ability to change my life ancestrally. Immigration holds the same function; both require you to start from the beginning.
