The poems in awkward in an attempt to be by Conor Ryan attempt to answer the question, “Can we reach transcendence through brain rot?” Pulled from over a period of five years, each one acts like an object in a curio cabinet - everyday images that capture piercing moments of nostalgia, laid out for everyone to see. They are for anyone who relates more to the alien than the human and who laughs at inappropriate times when they really want to cry.
Conor Ryan has been quietly sharing his poetry via the moniker @itypedumbthings for almost a decade now. His poems have been called both “unhinged” and “weirdly tender” by strangers on the internet. Besides being self-leaked into the void, his poems have been featured in publications such as Moss Puppy Magazine, Swim Press, Troublemaker Firestarter, shoegaze literary, and Wax Nine.

A chapbook in fragments, Inheritances explores the poetics and temporalities of cancer risk. As both a writer and anthropologist, Roth looks to reconfigure what it means to give voice to genetic diagnosis. Departing from dominant frameworks in which illness narratives are anchored in individual experience, Roth embeds genetic diagnosis in broader patterns of caregiving, grief, and the intimate textures of kinship.
There are two transmasculine genders: the butch anarchist, and the tiny atemporal gremlin who really needs a hug. In BOY APPARITION, mk zariel tackles both. This chapbook is full of love letters to the BashBack tendency, chronicles of insurgent trans boyhood and its ties to lesbian culture, unhinged teenage rants, and the kind of love poems you’d write in lipstick on the mirror of the gender-neutral bathroom. Through it all, one question is central: what it means to be transmasculine beyond hegemonic manhood, beyond hierarchy, beyond linear time itself.
