This book is for my trans siblings and my anarchist comrades, my Missoula homies and the people who grew up in Western New York, for my ancestors who survived and my niblings who are going to live in a better world if I have anything to say about it.

Moots in Philadelphia, do yourselves a favor and check out this insanely talented transsexual Canadian poet.

Thanks! I'm very pumped about it.

The cover of SMOKE SEASON by Carrie-Edmund Laben: Orange and teal design of mountains and curling smoke with a giant femme head and shoulders rising out of the mountains. The figure's face bears the sigil of Botis. She also has curling horns.

Did somebody say COVER REVEAL?

Thank you @lossrockhart.bsky.social, @sadiehartmann.bsky.social, and Matthew Revert for the fantastic cover art.

Twinks are cherry blossoms in the wind, kids. You blink and they're gone. All you can do is cry and disco about it.
