Sinister Wisdom 127: On Transfer

Sinister Wisdom 127: On Transfer is a transition, a change, a movement, a shift, a relocation. Consider the physical ways lesbians transfer ourselves and our artifacts through space, time, life, and death. Ponder the ways our identities and views shift and morph over time, transferring into us new understandings of ourselves, our communities, and the worlds around us. Sinister Wisdom 127: On Transfer, smartly conceived and executed by curator Susannah Magers, explores all these transfers and more. In this volume, Magers posits that a component essential to a successful transfer is trust. The poems, art, stories, and conversations in Sinister Wisdom 127: On Transfer invites readers to entrust in the tides of transformation, to believe in the power of ourselves, our loved ones, and the power of change as buoys to a radically connected, liberated world. Enjoy this profound engagement with transfer in this issue—as well as wonderful new writing and art by lesbians.
