Poetry

Like Lewis and Clark

Like Lewis and Clark,
I learned it’s okay
To be gay
When you’re stuck on a boat.
 
Like Lewis and Clark,
I went out with my friend.
 
Like Lewis and Clark
I looked at a map.
 
Like Lewis and Clark,
I discovered something,
Ass.

Quinn Valentine is a queer, autistic artist from the Bay Area who makes work centered on their personal ideas about the power of transness. They enjoy taking the homophobic, transphobic and queerphobic myths perpetuated by hyper conservative Christian propaganda to flip them inside out into a new visual language that empowers instead. They work with other witches like themself to generate new pieces to embody the divine rebels they see in their loved ones.
