Cover Art for “Mapping Multi-Genre Literary Framework for Trans* Studies.” The art was created by Arien Reed and features a person who is naked with long, tightly curled hair looking up to the sky. Two hands wrap around the person, leaving blank spaces in their torso, and flower petals stream off the vibrant water-color surface of the figure’s skin. The figure is ambiguously gendered.

A timely book recommendation: “The Spirit Bares Its Teeth,” by Andrew Joseph White.

The narrative is in the style of a Victorian Gothic (very dark, see trigger warnings), and it features a neurodivergent and trans masc protagonist whose knowledge of medicine seems to far exceed RFK Jr. Just saying!
The cover art to “The Spirit Bares Its Teeth.” In the center is an individual with long, curled blonde hair, violet eyes that look to be in pain (facing to the right), and a clutched shard of glass in hand. The individual is framed in an oval-shaped, golden frame with a blue sky and white clouds in the background. Behind the framed image of the individual is a haunting collage of violet eyes.
