Happy Birthday, Judy Grahn! May your day be filled with laughter, love, and perhaps a poetic revelation or two. After all, anyone who can convincingly argue that menstruation created the world deserves cake—and plenty of it!From "Edward the Dyke" to "The Queen of Swords," you've fearlessly challenged norms and inspired countless readers along the way. Your Lambda Literary Award and American Book Award are proof you're not just writing poetry—you're rewriting history (and biology!). Here's wishing you another year as bold, brilliant, and groundbreaking as ever; may your pen never run dry nor your wit dull!
