Spawning Generations is a collection of stories by queerspawn
(people with LGBTQ parents) spanning six decades, three continents,
and five countries. Curated by queerspawn, this anthology is about
carving out a space for queerspawn to tell their own stories. The
contributors in this volume break away from the pressures to be
perfect, the demands to be well adjusted, and the need to prove
that they turned out "all right." These are queerspawn stories,
airbrushed for no one, and told on their own terms
This graphic memoir looks at intergenerational experiences of
domestic and gender-based violence through a maternal gaze. The
book's 13 chapters document a mother's attempts to reconcile
violent incidents through visual representation, psychically
reordering them in the context of her changing temporal body. The
unexpected return of trauma memories captured in mixed media
reveals an intricate balance between remembering and forgetting.
Snippets of memory collide on the page, illustrating in bold
graphics and fragmented text how maternal bodies react to claim or
reject the stories memory brings. At question is how violence
interacts with mental health, addiction, disability, gender, and
language, and where or if accountability for transgressions exists
except in the author's mind. While pushing the boundaries of
ethical storytelling, this research-creation text explores trauma
memory in a textured overlay of images and text. The textured
hand-made paper cradles a constant search for identity, opening up
the body surgically and metaphorically while pieces are changed,
damaged, and removed.
