Writing Queer and Trans Joy

Joy is a radical act for the marginalized. Informed by Billy-Ray Belcourt’s writing on queer BIPOC joy, this generative workshop is all about joy and its revolutionary potential. We will discuss contemporary writing in different genres centered on queer and trans joy, from authors such as Brandon Taylor, Chen Chen, and H. Melt. We will write two to three pieces of our own and talk about the problems with compulsory joy and what to do when writing joy feels impossible. Attendees will walk away with at least two rough drafts in any genre, questions for further reflection, and your own theory of queer and trans joy.
