I discovered an absolutely amazing local-to-me (well, when I'm not living in France local-to-me) slam poet named Gabe Moses. My favorite of his poems are How to Make Love to a Trans Person" and "Stimming".

Gabe is also a transman, and is offering .mp3s and a digital chapbook of some of his work in exchange for donations to offset the cost of his sex reassignment surgery.

(And anyone who reads my journal or who follows copperbadge has seen/will see this, because I THINK HE IS AWESOME AND EVERYONE SHOULD SEE HIS POETRY RIGHT THIS SECOND. I saw "Stimming" and became an instant fangirl.)
