A visual & lyrical declaration filled with fever & flight, REPRISE, Golden's second collection of poetry & photography maps a personal search for safety in a U.S. that offers none.
Golden's collection illuminates a path through national uprisings, anti-trans violence, family loss, and a global pandemic. These sonically playful poems and assertive, color-saturated portraits reveal a stark vulnerability that invites readers to look deeply at times of great and, possibly, liberatory uncertainty.
At its heart, this collection asks: Where is home? Who is free? What makes a nation?
Golden seeks portals towards self-liberation. In their pursuit, we're invited to witness and learn from their interior revolution, from which they emerge more free to declare themselves in small and large ways: Whether stating I just want to wear my orange dress to the tennis courts & come back home unbothered or I am home in the arms of the armed.
Building on their debut collection, A Dead Name That Learned How to Live and their award-winning self-portraiture series, On Learning How to Live, Golden honors the living siege & sorrow, rage & revival, joy & creation of being Black and trans in America.
Golden (they/them) is a Black, gender-nonconforming, trans photographer, poet, educator, curator, and community organizer raised in Hampton, Virginia (Kikotan land), and currently residing in Brooklyn, New York (Lenapehoking land). Golden is the author of A DEAD NAME THAT LEARNED HOW TO LIVE (Game Over Books, 2022), a Lambda Literary Award finalist in 2023, and the photographic series On Learning How to Live, a 2021 Arnold Newman Photography Prize finalist. On Learning How to Live documents Black trans life at the intersections of surviving and living in the United States. Golden holds a BFA in photography and imaging from New York University.
