Espinoza, in her poetry, opens up a dialogue with what it means to live inside a trans body. Her voice is still ricocheting inside me. So much of what she writes are the same feelings I can't seem to find words for, but she has helped me to understand myself just a little bit better.

Beautiful collection of poems that show the real and raw reality of being a trans woman and living in a world such as this one. Read this book for class and loved it so much.
