Transcendence: Queer Restoryation brings readers a nuanced look into intersections of gender, queerness, spirituality, nature, and mythology. This book weaves together visual and written stories to form worlds that transcend distinctions of gender, time and place.

In a society that tries to erase the presence of LGBTQIA+ folks, it is even more vital that we tell our stories, whether these are the everyday realities of our lives, or mythic tales of realities deeper than ordinary truths. Binary ways of seeing the world will not simply disappear — they must be replaced by ways of seeing and honoring fluidity and change as natural and necessary.  The powerful act of queer restoryation creates new queer stories and myths, ones that empower, inspire, and heal. 

Cai Quirk (they or other neutral pronouns) is a genderqueer/fluid multi-disciplinary artist who connects gender, mythology, restoryation, and spirituality through photos, poems, and stories. Their series Transcendence: Queer Restoryation, has been exhibited in twelve states and four countries.
