Callum Angus is the author of A Natural History of Transition (Metonymy Press), which was a 2022 finalist for an Oregon Book Award/Ken Kesey Award in Fiction, a Lambda Literary Award in Transgender Fiction, and the Edmund White Award in Debut Fiction. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Orion, LA Review of Books, Literary Hub, Portland Monthly Magazine, Catapult, The Common, and many other venues, and he was a 2018 Writer-in-Residence at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. He edits the journal smoke and mold, which publishes nature writing, broadly defined, by trans and Two-Spirit writers. His work moves between the eco and trans literary worlds in order to demonstrate that transition, in all its registers, is a crucial viewpoint from which to consider the natural world in a time of great upheaval.
