“Under his original (female) pronoun, Bain published many chapbooks that spoke heavily to early struggles of living with a forced feminized identity. Now a gender-nonconforming writer, Bain has come out with a stunning stinger of a book, a collection that carries all the swelling emotion of someone who is in a constant state of rebirth.”—Amber Tamblyn, Bust Magazine

“Buy Debridement. Read it, fight with it, love it. Give it to people you care about. You need it. We all do.”—Jay Besemer, PANK

C. Bain is a Brooklyn-based gender-liminal writer-performer. His work appears in anthologies and journals including Muzzle Magazine, PANK, The Rumpus, the Everyman's Library book Villanelles, and great weather for MEDIA’s The Other Side of Violet. His plays have been performed at the Kraine, the Tank, and Dixon Place in NYC. As an actor/performer he has worked with Flux Theatre Ensemble, Threadbare Theatre Workshop, Alexandro Segade of My Barbarian, Adin Walker, and with other NYC-based companies. In life, he has worked in an abortion clinic, on a sexual assault crisis hotline, and as an international volunteer with HIV/AIDS in Mozambique. He is trained as a psychiatric social worker, and works extensively with movement, embodiment, trauma and sexuality. But he'd rather just dance with you.
