Tranny Muse is a poetry collection that interrogates personal, historical, and socio-cultural genealogies, functioning as both a record and an archive. As the speaker of these poems, I explore my life thus far: from growing up Mormon and coming out as gay and trans/nonbinary to performing in drag and finding new forms for home and community. The collection, organized by books of prose and lineated poems, enacts yet queers traditional genre conventions by transgressing their boundaries as I wrestle with finding form for desire, ethics, trauma, and dis/eu-phoria. / Master of Fine Arts / Tranny Muse is a poetry collection.
