Comment on Trans and Genderqueer SF & Fantasy: Some Slides from Philly by Glenn I

I was glad to see you included Ozma of Oz in your talk on trans fantasy. If you don’t know L. Frank Baum’s non-Oz fantasy John Dough and the Cherub, I recommend it. The Cherub of the title is a child whose gender is never identified. The Cherub wears unisex pyjamas throughout the story. The book is recently back in print from Hungry Tiger Press, but if you just want the text, it’s in the public domain so can be downloaded from project gutenberg.

I heard about your visit to Whitman College in Walla Walla on NPR today and was blown away. I am from Walla Walla originally and the Burt name around there is very big and I just thought it was cool that a big name like yourself has the same as a local like me. Stay True brother man..

Winning a poetry slam requires some measure of skill and a huge dose of luck. The judges’ tastes, the audience’s reactions, and the poets’ performances all shape a slam event, and what wins one week might not get a poet into the second round the next week. There’s no formula for winning a slam, although you become a stronger poet and performer the same way you get to Carnegie Hall — practice, practice, practice.
