Zeraph
Zeraph lives in Bangor, Maine, where he paints, publishes APMT and the poetry zine love never, organizes a community arts collective and runs The Alchemist's Closet.
APMT 1.2 explores family in all of its brilliant permutations. Is family defined by one man and one woman, and kids? By two married people of any gender?
Delve into this issue of APMT and go beyond the arguments around the gay marriage debate and into the territory of chosen, post-nuclear, extended and queer families that break boundaries and practice radical new forms of support and encouragement.
We open with a discussion of more traditional families-- the ones most of us were born into. Rowan Alexander (Sunshines Underground) discusses the at times terrible treatment as well as the strength of transgender children born into traditional families. Martin Chartrand discusses growing past a rejection of the family as "first agents of the state" toward a more inclusive understanding as he moves toward building his own chosen family.
There are some beautiful poems about friendship, love and privilege; a lengthy article about the role of race and class in the history of the HIV epidemic in the US; Sybil Dorset (TSPX, I've Got a Time B*mb) talks about positive possibilities for trans families; and Ammie Brod finishes up the zine with a beautiful article about the joy she's found in her extended queer family.
Cover image will vary. Each cover is block-printed with the APMT logo in bronze, gray or yellow.
