Thank you for coming on this DIS...MISS journey with us! We end our book preview with the last chapter, lucky number 13: "Love &/Or Fear?" This final chapter features work by Reach LA, AF3IRM, and Christy Roberts Berkowitz, as well as images from our "Love &/Or Fear: A Celebration of Genders" public art event in 2019. Bask in the strength of these lines from Berkowitz's poem, "witch":

Powerless femmes

Seek agency

When agency is mistaken for power

They burn you

A witch is someone who can survive in the margins
The institution of religious capitalism transformed the body into one that
could be disciplined and tamed, so as to extract work

The witch’s body is

The witch’s body

In the moments I own myself the most

I am a witch

In our second to last DIS...MISS book preview, we sneak a peek at "What Were You Born For?" featuring work by Alma Ruiz, Alexandra Grant, and Jordi, whose essay, "Decolonizing My Gender" is excerpted below:

I’m not a woman. I’m not a man. I am something that I’m trying to understand. The gender binary has got us fucked up. I’m beginning to find my footing now but from a young age this dance between masculine and feminine has been a deep source of trauma, confusion, and invisibility in a world where it seemed people “saw” me before I even did.

This week's chapter peek, "What Are They Singing?"

This week's chapter peek, "What Are They Singing?" highlights work by Karen Tongson, Shizu Saldamando, Zackary Drucker, and A Window Between Worlds. The following passage is from Tongson's essay, in which she analyzes a painting of herself singing karaoke with her friend Raqui at a bar:

“Raqui” sees “Tongson’s” pain. She witnesses her efforts at exorcism through balladry, her reaching for something in that moment beyond the high note, that might fail or succeed spectacularly. She is there for the inevitable failure even after the high note is achieved, and the other patrons erupt in cheers. She is there for the come down after “Tongson” wields the mic, and peacocks around the bar, but ends up shattering her life outside of that magical space.
