Meet Me There, Another Time

Letters To Places That Queer and Trans People Left Behind

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Even before trans bathroom bans, queer book bans, healthcare bans forcing rainbow families to cross state lines, many of us in the community have been on the run...

These are the letters to the places we carry within us, places left behind - homes, cities, states, and countries - even the people and bodies where we’ve found a place to rest, or a place to flee.

Edited by Lamda Literary award finalist Lexie Bean, and replete with moments of grief, longing, anger, and satisfaction, this urgent and raw collection is a testimony of continued queer and and trans existence and a powerful imagined landscape of rendezvous and reconciliation with places that have been lost.

Lexie Bean (they/he) is a trans multimedia artist from the Midwest whose work revolves around themes of bodies, homes, cyclical violence, and queer identity. Lexie is a Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship and Tin House alumni, and member of the RAINN National Leadership Council. Lexie is the editor of the anthology Written on The Body, and the author of the awarded children’s book The Ship We Built, and co-director of the feature documentary What Will I Become? for public television. They have worked with DV/SA survivors for 15 years and within several immigrant-advocacy spaces.
