On Trans Days of Remembrance, scrolling through statistics, faces, a litany of loss, am inundated by rage.
Rage at how little our city does to recognize the tragedy that happened at Club Q 3 years ago while our community weeps.
Rage at how hard we have to fight against local school boards that pass cruel policies specifically made to harm trans students.

Rage at the unmitigated spread of a virus that disproportionately huts our community and the untimely deaths that will cause. Rage at how the list of people to mourn keeps on growing.
Rage at how trans people get buried with their dead names.
Rage at a populace so willing to let trans people be the scapegoat for ills created by income inequality, white supremacy, and capitalism. Rage because there are so many trans people who should still be here today.

And still, despite all of this, trans people get out of bed. Care for our loved ones. Do our best to create a better world, not just for ourselves, but everyone.
We bless this world with the daily reminder of the freedom we have painstakingly fought for, the knowledge that you don't have to be confined to rigid roles defined by your birth.

Trans people remind the world: You are the god of your own
understanding. You are the potter and the clay. The gardener and the flower. The poet and the poem.
Trans people embody this knowledge every single day, this knowledge that has been deemed so dangerous, because if everyone knew it, the foundations of power would start to crumble.

The making of my newest piece, entitled "I Have Taught Myself to Dance Alone," part of a series of works examining the experience of having long COVID through the myth of the minotaur. #queerart #covidisnotover #covidconscious

NICO WILKINSON

TRANS DAY OF I LOVE YOU

trans day of rage. trans day of vengeance. trans day of bleeding bigots. trans day of not being the bigger person. trans day of every statistic and gunman shattered by stilettos. trans day of we are going to make our own world. trans day of we are the ones we've been waiting for. trans day of morning coffee in bed. trans day of never having to explain our bodies or language. trans day of eyeliner and glitter and body hair and sweat and flashing lights. trans day of dancing until we can't anymore. trans day of coming home. trans day of no apologies. trans day of fucking forever. trans day of guns melted down to o-rings. trans day of unabashed faggotry. trans day of free surgeries and hormones. trans day of living a long, long life. trans day of i love you. trans day of i love you. trans day of i love you. trans day of get home safe. trans day of i will see you in the morning.

On this day, 8 years ago, Idris Goodwin and I released our #poetry book, Inauguration, to capture the rage and anxiety of that time through words. It is available to read, for free, at @haymarketbooks.org. I hope it offers some validation, some solace. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1082-i...

hello, good evening, my name is chen chen, i’m a poet, and you may know me from such poems as this, “i love you to the moon &”

i love you to the moon &

not back, let’s not come back, let’s go by the speed of
queer zest & stay up
there & get ourselves a little
moon cottage (so pretty), then start a moon garden

with lots of moon veggies (so healthy), i mean
i was already moonlighting
as an online moonologist
most weekends, so this is the immensely

logical next step, are you
packing your bags yet, don’t forget your
sailor moon jean jacket, let’s wear
our sailor moon jean jackets while twirling in that lighter,

queerer moon gravity, let’s love each other
(so good) on the moon, let’s love
the moon
on the moon

reflecting on an interaction i had today #poetry

january 17, 2025

the cashier, gruff and severe,
looks me up and down,
then beyond me, eyes fixed
through the window. he says,
with more gravity than
the coldest of winter days:
be careful out there.
drive safe. stay warm.
a storm is coming.
i follow his gaze to look
at the clear blue sky.
are we talking about
the weather?

In evaluating my relationship to social media as a writer and artist, I realize that my anxiety around making content started to hinder my joy around making art. I don't want to make content. I want to make art, and share it boldly. I hope I can find my way back to a joyful abandon I once had.

First post! Hello! I'm Nico. I'm a poet and printmaker. I'm currently in the process of publishing my book of poems about queerness and nature, The Weeds Grow Anyway. I like to make things, and help others make things as well. Happy to be here! #printmaking #poetry #intro
