Poems of a Transsexual Nature

A RECKLESS, EROTIC AND AUDACIOUS ODE TO RECONNECTION.

He chose the name Apollo because he is as hot as the sun. Lost in a reckless hypersexual haze, blending into big city Naarm, locking up memories of a blurry Queensland childhood, what happens when this young brotherboy goes to country for the first time and confronts what really matters?

This poetic romp asks the questions: Are you allowed to be a man-hating trans man? Do twenty-three year olds already know everything? Are you still blak if you've never used keens curry powder? Is having heaps and heaps of really depraved sex a healthy way to distract from the crippling weight of all this grief?

Enjoy rainforest poetry, burlesque, and a whole lot of laughs in this sexy blak take on coming of age.

Poems of a Transsexual Nature was a staged reading, presented as part of the Trans Theatre Festival 2026.
