| Zusammenfassung: | Kael Reid’s stories, lyrics, and poems delve into the complexities of queer existence, exploring themes of relationality, embodiment, movement, and place. A white settler, lesbian singer-songwriter turned genderqueer researcher and educator, Reid reflects on their life journey from a farm in southwestern eastern Canada to the mountains of western Canada and back. Reid’s narratives cover diverse experiences: a moment of reflection while cooking lunch over a fire in the woods as a youth, sexual assault, watching a lesbian docu-drama, drug abuse, waking up beside a woman for the first time, homophobic violence, an unplanned pregnancy, a past life experience while hiking, singing with a musical companion in a run-down biker bar, finding love, and undergoing gender-affirming top surgery. Through these tales, Reid connects to the more-than human world and captures the essence of being human. |
