The editor is donating this unpublished (newly-revised) international trans poetry anthology to the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, in care of Prof. Aaron Devor, founding director, and Chair in Transgender Studies. *** 1 DEDICATION To all of my fellow transsexual, transgender(ist), transvestite (crossdressing), gender non- binary, genderqueer, transqueer, Hijra, intersex and Two-Spirit community members, and our partners, families, friends, allies and supporters. ~~~ And to all the contributors to this trans poetry anthology, with a special dedication to the following contributors, at least five of whom have since departed: Linda T. O’Connell (19??-????), a Canadian transsexual activist and poet, whose fighting spirit expressed through her two trans poetry anthologies of 1978 and 1982, inspired me to compile the present collection. It’s uncertain if she’s still alive as she was wheelchair-bound with Multiple Sclerosis in 1988. (See “The Poets” for more information, and my poetic tribute, “For Linda T., With Love” [BOOK ONE, PART ONE: M-F TSISM].)
