Them Is II (2015)

The second issue of THEM lit offers a vibrant tapestry of voices that reflect the complexity and richness of trans experiences. With contributions from a diverse array of writers, each piece grapples with themes of identity, belonging, and the nuances of self-expression. Readers will encounter poetry, essays, and narratives that challenge conventional perspectives, inviting introspection and dialogue around gender and sexuality.

Among the contributors are emerging and established voices, each bringing their unique lens to the discussion. The variety of formats—ranging from raw and poignant pieces to experimental works—showcases the versatility of trans literature, creating an engaging reading experience that is both thought-provoking and illuminating.

This issue serves not only as a literary anthology but as a space for activism and community building. By sharing personal stories and collective histories, the writers underscore the importance of representation and the power of narrative to foster understanding, empathy, and connection in a world often marked by division.
