FRIDAY JANUARY 23!!!! one year of really beautiful readings at @tamarackoakland . (many more to follow.) please join us for a celebration and reading and little party on 1/23 featuring nearly all of the curators of our still unnamed series 🤍🤍🤍🤍
“The child is the father of the man”...Ok wrdswrth go off! And go off to these works of @wllasmrt and @chloeblisssnyder , the first two of 10 (or 11) magnanimous releases in our Juvenilia series, which, after a long period of potential promise, now self-actualize, hand-stitched (there’s an excuse!) and risograph printed on beautiful paper and even hung on the line, dripped by the end of the season, with beautiful cover art by @ko_fabric , designed and edited by @elise_houcek and @zackdarsee . Here you will find betwixt and between writings composed by our authors sometime in their “younger” years, accompanied by the intellectualizing frame of their current “selves” via an essay on some sort of schoolyard game. 1 for $10 or 2 for $18 (shipping include). DM to order. Money goes into future printings by the press. Many thanks!
Willa Smart was born in Idaho and is the author of many fantasies insofar as one can claim to be the author of her own fantasies.
Chloe Bliss Snyder is a poet from upstate New York who now writes in Idaho, where she studies and teaches poetry at Boise State University. Her chapbook Ekho and Narkissos was published by the pamphlet series The Swan and its recording can be heard on PennSound. Other work of hers can be read in Luigi Ten Co, @mercury_firs , @tagvverk , @caesuramag , @annuleteditions , and elsewhere, and is forthcoming in the @chicago_review and @antiphonyajournal .

Small Press Traffic will host poet and activist-scholar Nat Raha, who is visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, with Bay Area poet Willa Smart. The authors will present readings of recent work before joining in conversation about trans writing and life.
What actions / poetics / dialogues do we need for this phase of global backlash against trans and gender non-conforming people? Poetic offerings will inspire a discussion encompassing trans care, abolitionist ethics, politics of fantasy, trans femme futures, and more.
