Dances of Time and Tenderness is a bold, sensual account of what Julian Carter calls “the trans promise:
what we do with our bodies changes worlds.” With delicate drawings of chains linking the dungeons
of 1990s San Francisco to medieval catacombs, AIDS funerals, and Tennessee truckstops, Carter proposes intimacy as a technology of history. Here, historians and artists, students and lovers, sailors and skeletons join across deep time in a transgenderational lineage of queer carnality as culture, inviting us to enter a gorgeously complex, formally precise choreography of sweetness, rage and sorrow—“this is not a memoir, it’s collective memory.”
Praise
Julian Carter has an eye for exquisite detail: a stitch, a step, a glance, a touch, a trace upon a page—all enchained, entrained in lyric vignettes to sketch a history transmitted intimately, across the queer and trans generations, inviting us to dance with him across the folds of time.
