For a collection that isn't explicitly trans and/or queer, Letters Lived is full of LBTQness: trans women, lesbians, queer women, and genderqueer people. It's also refreshingly filled with a majority of writers of colour (including legendary Sto: Loh author Lee Maracle, whose novel Ravensong I reviewed here), which is unfortunately something lacking in a lot of queer anthologies.

"It's almost as if activist is a certification you get when you've put in x hours of anti-oppression trainings or eaten x amounts of hummus at community meetings." "To be true to your principles is to value yourself and to value the life (which is short enough) you have, so that at any moment you are not ashamed of your acts, of your friends, of your thoughts, of your expectations--of where your principles take you and enable you to go.
