Still Brazen Episode 2: "Rendering the Radical Contemporaneity of Femme": Trish Salah and Leah Horlick in Conversation about the Femme Poetics of Ethnicity and Sexuality, the Fascist Politics of Transmisogyny, and Creating Culture At the Bar, On the Internet, and Beyond
In this episode, poet/academic Trish Salah and poet Leah Horlick discuss femme cultures centred both on the internet and in the bar, and the common issues and possibilities that arise in both contexts. They discuss the femme figurations sketched in Salah's poetic contributions to Brazen Femme, "Medusa" and "Red Like a Femme" and Horlick's earlier works, Riot Lung and For Your Own Good. Themes of femme, fascism, ethnicity, and transmisogyny emerge in the conversation surrounding their books Wanting in Arabic and Moldovan Hotel, and the current political moment.
