About the book:
A legendary transgender elder and activist reflects on a lifetime of struggle and the future of black, queer, and trans liberation
We are so excited to be printing out first ever anthology Between Queer Teeth which is officially out in the world as of 9th October 2025! Between Queer Teeth brings together poetry, short stories and creative non-fiction from the mouths of the queer and trans community.
We offer you the words stuck between our teeth, the stories (true and imagined) that have been living rent free on our tongues, the poems that are just visible when we part our lips, open our mouths wide.Thank you to everyone who joined us at the launch, and to our brilliant readers who read their work aloud for us.
This book club is hosted by one of our amazing booksellers, Blake!
Blake is an MA student studying on the History of the Book course over at the School of Advanced Study, with a specialty in rare books and modernist publishing histories. Her favourite authors are Samuel R Delany, Ann Quin and Claire Louise Bennett; if you want to make her really excited, ask her about her collection of copies of Ulysses. Blake also started London's own trans climbing group, T-Climbing, so when she's not reading she's mostly up a wall (or on the dancefloor).
