My collages often juxtapose homoerotic magazine photos with &#8220;wholesome&#8221; and &#8220;feminine&#8221; scrapbooking materials as a way of integrating my past girlhood with my present as a trans man\u2014both rebelling against good-girl repression, and reclaiming those colors and textures that have always given me sensory joy regardless of gender assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Susan Pearce:<\/strong> Working with this bold image, I felt the lettering should be supportive but not overwhelming. I chose the magenta color to anchor the image at the bottom. Matching the color in the headdresses, I chose cyan to pull the eye upward towards the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric Literature is pleased to reveal the cover of Introvert Pervert&nbsp;by Jendi Reiter, which will be published March 10, 2026 by Word Works Books.
