Event Details

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).
