  The candid, definitive biography of professional tennis’s first openly transgender player, Renée Richards, featuring untold stories nearly lost to history, until now. 
  Fifty years ago, tennis player Renée Richards made international headlines in her fight to compete in the women’s draw of the 1977 US Open—marking the first time a trans athlete sued to participate in professional sports in the gender category with which they identify. Renée eventually won her case. Though she lost in the first round of the singles tournament, she and her tennis partner made it to the finals in doubles, losing to Martina Navratilova and her partner. 
  Finding Renée Richards chronicles Richards’s extraordinary life, moving from her tumultuous upbringing in Queens, New York, to her career as a successful eye surgeon; her years as a star tennis player to her role as a transgender pioneer. Now in her nineties, Renée remains a complex figure: A person who changed the sports world forever yet questions the place of trans athletes in that world today. GLAAD award-nominated sports journalist Julie Kliegman deftly probes these contradictions, drawing on intimate interviews and offering critical reflections on what is at stake for athletes, fans, and the queer community today, at a time when trans participation in sports is more hotly contested—and condemned—than ever before.

  How close are we to myth, race memory? Do they infiltrate our minds? 
  Seamus Cashman's new collection, Clowns & Acrobats, swerves headily into a modern world of questionings, parenthood, relationships, conscience and death, while eyeing the poet;s close personal sense of history and celebratory myth. The exercise of power, the eccentricity of ideas, the magic of imaginings, the flow of language, an incredible musicality and the use – and abuse – of traditional forms here merge to delight the reader.
