The foundational femme anthology Brazen Femme: Queering Femininity was published in 2002. Editors Chloë Brushwood Rose and Anna Camilleri curated a collection of prose, poetry, visual art, and theory that explored femme on its own terms and brought us new, complex understandings of femme experience that changed the conversation about queer femininities. Twenty years later, emerging writers and scholars talk to original contributors to the anthology about femme's past, present, and future.

Still Brazen Episode 2: "Rendering the Radical Contemporaneity of Femme" with Trish Salah and Leah Horlick

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.
