“Style as Generative Constraint”: Jordy Rosenberg on Trans Poetics in the Shadow of the Far Right

Confronting fascism’s obsession with trans, in “‘Style as Generative Constraint’: Jordy Rosenberg on Trans Poetics in the Shadow of the Far Right,” Rosenberg situates the challenges of trans literature against the backdrop of the current political moment—genocide in Palestine, global victories for the far right, scholasticide, and the complicity of US institutions of higher education. Rosenberg theorizes literature as a mode of thinking through utopian longing, resistance, and making imaginative space felt.
