‘Revealing Selves: Transgender Portraits from Argentina’  — Photographs by Kike Arnal

Argentina was the first Latin American nation to legalize same-sex marriage. It also passed legislation that made it one of the most advanced countries in world in terms of transgender rights — the culmination of a long battle fought by LGBTQ support groups. In Revealing Selves: Transgender Portraits from Argentina (The New Press, April 2018), award-winning photographer Kike Arnal collaborated with people in the country's transgender communities, living among them and documenting their day-to-day lives in a series of strikingly intimate black-and-white images. This is Arnal's second photobook with The New Press. His first, Bordered Lives , focused on the LGBTQ community in Mexico.

A Reflection on 2015 from Co-Founder & Head Editor Greg Scheiber

The important thing that I want to highlight from this past year is everyone who made this possible.  One year ago on this date, as we embarked on our first publishing excursions, there were only three of us:  Steve, Kate, and myself, knowing little to nothing about publishing, hoping for a bright future with only a couple of submissions.  In these past 365 days, we have successfully released two magazines and showcased the talents of twenty poets, two fiction writers, and two visual artists with release parties in two different states.  We have conducted six interviews with these artists with another forthcoming in mid-January, and we are in the midst of keeping up with our largest (and deepest!) submission pool yet.  We have also finally entered a position where we can outfit our published artists with contributor copies.  Despite watching juggernaut and founding member, Steve Krzyzanowski, step away to pursue other projects after the release of our Fall issue, throughout the year we have added three new board members, one business manager, one financial consultant, and one editorial assistant to our staff, all of whom we are excited to have on board!   

This, our first full year in existence, has been one of hard work crushing deadlines but we have made it to bring forth the best creative writing possible. Now that we have forged a path, it would be easy to just keep treading that same distance of trail and continue to put out more volumes of Sunset Liminal.   But that is not all we are.  As Annie Dillard wrote, “Every day is a god” and it would be irreligious of us for our old sunsets to not turn into new sunrises and evolve the press always into something more than it was before.  

As we watch this last sun of this year turn red behind the clouds and drop down beneath the lines of land in Minnesota, in Connecticut, in Maryland, in North Carolina, in Pennsylvania, in New York, in Georgia, in New Jersey, in Massachusetts, in wherever we are, spread out against the rugged landscape of the world through whose spirit we all connect, we look to what we have and to what goals we will set atop the ones we have already conquered and what the first daily god of 2016 will bring.  We will see that slow brightening in the gray east and ask ourselves as artists, as a press, as a magazine, and as a community, how will we be even more who we are?

Happy New Year!

Greg Scheiber, Co-Founder of Sunset Liminal Press & Head Editor of Sunset Liminal
