Introducing Eyebright by Femmaeve MacQueen-Rose, the next reading in our Spectrum Spotlight Series, presented in association with the Del Shores Foundation (@delshoresfoundation).

KJ is an 18 year-old transman coming to terms with their adulthood, mother’s death, and father’s job (Mario works at the county jail). KJ is in love with Ruby, a young transwoman wrestling with addiction. Ruby is in jail; so are Imogen and Deja, two transwomen with painfully different life circumstances. Imogen writes her trauma out. Deja likes to make up songs. When Mario’s brutalization of transwomen hits home, what follows is a story about transgender people crafting moments of intimate joy despite structural oppression, incarceration, and threats against our collective emancipatory imagination.
