ASID x Agatha Christie

Trapped in an abandoned poetry school, Bronte and 7 spellwriting poets are given a scrap of verse and a challenge: finish the poem or die. As the body count rises, Bronte races to unmask their killer before she's next.

Our mission statement. Pride means standing up for what we believe in, and solidarity across our community 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
About QUILL (Queers in Living Literature) Scotland was founded during Pride Month 2024 in response to an atmosphere of increasing hostility and lack of solidarity with the LGBT+ community among the literature organisations of Scotland. Over the past few years, we have seen organisations that claim to represent all of Scotland’s thriving literary community, defend freedom of speech, and speak for us on the national stage fail to stand by and protect – let alone champion – the LGBTQ+ artists, authors, and poets at the heart of the writing community. Instead, we have seen them run to defend anti-trans figures, including those who are among the most wealthy and powerful individuals in Scotland, even as those individuals promote, fund, and add to the hatred against us in our media and politics. LGBT+ authors and poets have found themselves alienated and abandoned by the very groups that are meant to stand with us and ensure diversity is protected and nurtured. Scotland’s LGBT+ creators deserve to be championed and celebrated. As artists and simply as human beings, we also deserve to be defended against the hatred that has spread among many of the most powerful people in our society and, shamefully, many of the literary institutions in our country. QUILL Scotland has been established to fight for that future. Where it is needed QUILL Scotland will be the representation, defence, and voice for Scotland’s LGBT+ literary scene, to stand in where those who should be leading these efforts have fallen silent or turned their backs. If they will not organise on our behalf, we will organise ourselves. Contact us: info@quill.scot

For Pride I thought I might occasionally recommend books by LGBT poets. Today I’d like to spotlight Stephanie Burt’s “We Are Mermaids.” Burt’s a trans poet who frequently writes about adolescence as an awkward time of dreams & experimentation before adulthood locks you into preprepared scripts.

Listen & read transcript

#HouseOfXavier #HearingLoss #HardOfHearing #Deaf #Bushwick #Poetry #Ballroom #GlamSlam #LGBT #AcousticNeuroma #HouseOfXtravaganza
Emanuel Xavier with short dark hair and thin mustache wears a silver stud earring, silver tie, white shirt, and dark jacket. He stands in front of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and a large painting of Pedro Pietri, a founding poet of the cafe. Xavier places his hands in his dark jean pockets and rests his thumbs on top of his black belt.
