Edition I - Fire Island Tea

The inaugural Edition I launches the Fire Island Tea print series—110 pages that gather voices, images, and everyday rituals, showcasing queer Fire Island as its own small universe. History brushes shoulders with beach days; house dinners become salons; the night is always writing a new chapter.

Inside Edition I

Oral histories and conversations with island makers, caretakers, and longtime characters.

Photo essays tracing the season from first ferry to last light.

Archival ephemera from QCAF files—posters, clippings, invitations, notes in the margins.

New writing: poems, letters, micro-essays, and fragments of memory.

Field notes: small maps, insider tips, ferry lore, and moments of etiquette (and mischief).

Kitchen-table culture: a house cocktail and pantry recipe to bring the island home.

Why this exists

• Fire Island Tea is a living archive—part art book, part love letter—made to preserve the everyday magic of queer Fire Island and keep it circulating. Every copy helps support QCAF’s ongoing cultural preservation work
