Golden presents Reprise, their second collection of poetry and photography, in a reading/performance and conversation. Through sonically playful poems and color-saturated portraits, Reprise traces a personal search for safety, home and self-liberation amid national uprisings, anti-trans violence, grief and survival in the United States.
Golden (they/them) is a poet, photographer, installation artist and educator raised in Hampton, VA (Kikotan land). They are the author of A Dead Name That Learned How to Live (Game Over Books), a Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Transgender Poetry (2023), and Reprise (Haymarket Books). Golden’s award-winning photographic series On Learning How to Live, featured in Reprise, was long-listed for the Aperture Portfolio Prize (2021) and selected as a finalist for the Arnold Newman Prize (2021).
Their work can be found in The Boston Globe, Best of the Net Anthology, Button Poetry, The Nation, Poetry Magazine, Vogue, The Washington Post, The Yale Review, and elsewhere. Golden holds a BFA in Photography & Imaging from New York University and is currently a Nancy Craig Blackburn ’71 Fellow at Randolph College.
