The fourth issue of Plenitude is both a little new and what I’ve come to expect from this high-quality, diverse collection of writing by queer people. What’s new, you ask? Plenitude now comes in a print version! I was so excited to get mine in the mail, and then get to parade it around on BC ferries while I was reading it. Look everyone, at this awesome queer literary magazine! Did you know it’s your queer literary magazine? There’s just something about having a text in tangible, print form that just doesn’t compare to electronic versions. Fine, call me a luddite if you want to.
So, what about that what-I’ve-come-to-expect part? Let’s have a look!
The first story that really caught my attention was a cute bisexual first kiss story by Edmonton-based Caitlin Crawshaw. There were a few phrases that really captured the difficulty of not fitting into the homonormative narrative of identity, like “I am trapped in that awkward space between the breeders and the queers.”
