Only days before publishing Lyric Sexology Vol. 1, we sat down with poet Trish Salah to talk with her about the book, her writing process, l’écriture féminine, archives, and women’s bookstores.
We are extremely excited to announce Lindsay Nixon as the author of Metonymy’s next book. Their manuscript, tentatively titled nîtisânak, was chosen for publication by the Gay Book Lovers Unite jury.
Four people who have participated in Metonymy’s celebrations and creations: Kama La Mackerel, Helen Chau Bradley, jia qing wilson-yang, Gwen Benaway.
So we’ve been calling She Is Sitting in the Night a collaboration, but if it was that it was largely retroactive—a conversation that started in part before I was born. Literally. Ruth West started working on Thea’s Tarot when I was not yet a zygote, a fact that she is happy to emphasize with phrases like “back when dirt was new,” “when god was a girl, and “you don’t understand because you’re not old enough.”
