TRANS UNIVERSE THEORY
A finalist for the 2024 Noemi Press Poetry Book Contest, Trans Universe Theory is a multimedia, hybrid-form book that writes in the overlaps between language, identity, humanity, quantum physics, evolution, technology, grief, queerness, and speculative futures. TUT seeks to prove the impossible through the expansiveness of language—a non-integer (nonbinary) medium. It pokes at the underlying nature of everything—of things—as inherently nonbinary. Thus, valuing and necessitating a queer and trans lens.
By writing in the intersections of language, art, humanities, mathematics, and quantum physics, TUT challenges humanity’s internalized binaries—looking at ways that even numbers and the smallest points of our universe are fundamentally nonbinary. This book challenges our world’s scripted codes and from the margins, from a liminal space, aims to critically examine the socially constructed dichotomies that are made to be invisible.
