Ivan E. Coyote: In defence of lesbian, gay, transgender teens

One in Every Crowd is Ivan E. Coyote's tribute to all the youth who have inspired her in classrooms, queer youth camps and waiting outside her storytelling gigs. The Vancouver-based, Whitehorse-born storyteller has published five other story collections, a novel and an anthology, co-edited with Zena Sharman, with Arsenal Pulp Press. This collection is her first specifically for queer youth, aged 14 and up. Some stories are new while others have been previously published including in columns she wrote for Xtra! for 11 years.

Coyote's kitchen-table style of storytelling is as lively on the page as at her in-person performances. Her vulnerability connects us to her story and helps us remember our own. Stories are a wonderful meeting place showing us where we're different and how we're the same. People of all ages will relate to finding the courage in being true to oneself while seeking acceptance and community.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
