 Trace Peterson
Trace Peterson, a poet and educator, is at the forefront of the charge to increase transgender representation and visibility in poetry. A transwoman herself, Peterson will be teaching the first ever course in transgender poetry this fall at Hunter College.

The course, not unlike Peterson’s own poetry, will aim to lift discussions of trans identity out of theory and metaphor and bring it down to the real lived experiences of trans identified writers and artists.
