Keynote Address
▪ Trans, Lyric: Some Notes from the Interior
Cameron Awkward-Rich (he/him), University of Massachusetts, Amherst

“Insofar as it names a category defined by a contestation of


overdetermination from the outside, trans has long been marked by a
certain measure of trouble with the social, which, in turn, gets trans in
trouble. But, rather than trying to make trans more properly extroverted,
this talk takes an interest in the life of the interior. Taking the writing of
Pauli Murray—particularly in their life as a poet and memoirist—as a case
study, I follow two, overlapping questions: first, how might we think with,
rather than against, trans’s vexed sociality? And, second, what might it get
us to understand trans literature through its submerged poetic, rather than
evident autobiographical, tradition?”
