Introducing readers to five trans and nonbinary poets Splendor is an ode to queer bodies, with previously unpublished translations from Argentina, Denmark, Korea, Norway, and Quebec. From the irreverent and irresponsible to the quiet and meditative these poems decentralize our ideas of trans experience and poetics.
Splendor presents a sliver of the wide possibilities of what trans literature can offer. This is trans literature that transcends borders and binaries in order to engaging with a messy world. As Camila Sosa Villada writes, "Let us keep loving one another in this swamp of contradictions."

About the Author
Laurentiis, Rickey: - Rickey Laurentiis was raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, to care. Her debut book, Boy with Thorn, won the Cave Canem Poetry Prize, the Levis Reading Prize, and the Whiting Award. Her much anticipated second collection, Death of the First Idea, was published in 2025 by Knopf and longlisted for the National Book Award; it was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a nominee for a NAACP Image Award.Bérubé, Pascale: - Pascale Bérubé is perhaps an anomaly: a trans poet who is seemingly uninterested in stable gender assignments. She is more interested in transness itself, that is, what lies between and never quite resolves itself into an identity, a floating inside an indeterminate Being. To quote the final words of the first poem in her collection, Trop de Pascale: "je ne suis pas moi" (I am not me). Perhaps this could be described as a more generalized dysphoria, but, in the hands of Bérubé, it is above all a poetics, a reappropriation of Rimbaud's "Je est un autre."Holmegaard, Luka: - Luka Holmegaard (he/they; b. 1990) is an award-winning Danish author of fiction, essays, and poetry. He made his debut with the novel Emma Emma in 2015, followed by Graceland in 2017. LOOK (2020) is a genre-defying work about the role of clothing in literature, in creating and reshaping gender, in political protests, in power relations, in sex and love, and in the precarious labor market. LOOK was critically acclaimed in both Denmark and Germany and nominated for the Politikens Literature Prize. The Ocean in Your Mouth is his fourth book.
