KYANITE

MY NEW BOOK, COMING SOON!

How are we going to take care of each other?!? The urgent question I'd already been asking my friends for years, when put to the test by pandemic and uprising, quickly led to other questions: How will we get capitalism out of our bodies?!? How has fascism eroded from within the very meaning of the words and concepts we hope to use to fight back against it? What are we left with after an attempt at revolution that comes up short? Informed by these questions and more, Kyanite is a fevered conversation taking place in both body and mind – sometimes epistolary, and sometimes while dancing. Equal parts meditation on the terrible demands of utopia, a document of queer communards attempting to develop psychic powers during quarantine, and a hopeful consideration of the power of transgender desire to destroy America, Kyanite includes my conversation with and writing by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, hannah baer, Hana van der Kolk, Valencia Gunder, Marcus Briggs-Cloud, Lupinewood Collective, Star Route Farm, Sara Jane Stoner, Rafa Esparza, MPA, Iemanja Brown, Imogen Xtian Smith, Hoe Army, Community Cash, Lara Lorenzo, and more...
