“Our definition of queer is that which fundamentally transforms our state of being and the possibilities for life.”

 

Alexis Pauline Gumbs 

​

As a writer and an aspiring artist, I live either on an island in the Hebrides, surrounded by hawthorns and fairies, or in the jungles of Bolivia, with the big cats, dung beetles and tarantulas. I write about love and kinship on the frontlines of environmental destruction and my first book, a bestselling memoir, was called THE PUMA YEARS.​ 

I am currently writing a book about dragons.
