We were pleased to welcome Margaret Galvan, PhD, and Distinguished Junior External Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center, to our reading room in February. Margaret is researching a book about how LGBTQ cartoonists formed community in the 1980s and 90s in the various places/formats they published, including grassroots newspapers and zines. She found our almost complete run of Meatmen: An Anthology of Gay Male Comics to be highly valuable for her research. Our extensive collections are available to the public! |

There are trans people here
by H. Melt
"There are trans people here in the past, the present, and the future. H. Melt's writing centers the deep care, love, and joy within trans communities. This poetry collection describes moments of resistance in queer and trans history as catalysts for movements today. It honors trans ancestors and contemporary activists, artists, and writers fighting for trans liberation. There Are Trans People Here is a testament to the healing power of community and the beauty of trans people, history, and culture"

The film blends archival footage with illuminating interview segments featuring some of Russell's colleagues and most notable collaborators, including poet Allen Ginsberg, composer Philip Glass, and indie pop sensation Jens Lekman."
