Summary

"The GenderQueer/GenreQueer Playground special issue of Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora, guest edited by Ronaldo V. Wilson, is a living testament to how trans, genderqueer, and non-binary poets, writers, and artists, while fighting against marginalization, are often at the leading edge of innovating poetry, fiction, drama, and arts through "queering" form, content, and genre. The intersection of body and text, although common to the work of many writers, finds a heightened necessity in the work of these makers, inducing them to create forms that more closely track the reality of their bodies, identities, and experience. This issue creates a forum to amplify the voices of writers whose communities so often face compounded hardship and unreported violence, and yet cultivate and share unacknowledged joy. The Playground issue includes work by Anastacia-Reneé, Samiya Bashir, Sherese Francis, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, fahima ife, Michal MJ Jones, M.C. MoHagani Magnetek, Maurice Moore & many more"--
