Unusually for me, I read this entire collection of poetry in a single sitting. It is excellent - slices of life explored through poetry by a black trans man. I have added his other collections to my wishlist.

Another gorgeous offering from this poet. I believe this is his first collection, a chapbook published by Button Poetry. The whole series of poems connects in various ways with the title, Transit. Many poems take place on trains, during transport, and others focus on the liminal quality of memory and identity, particularly through Awkward-Rich’s experience as a trans man. These are poems of navigation, of sorting out—they are always gorgeous and often devastating.

"I've wanted/ to be a thousand things. I've got names/ for all of them & as many kinds// of travel - the knife, the needle, the wolf// in bird's clothes." A stunning collection from Cameron Awkward-Rich packed with most elegant and nuanced metaphor-rich poetry that examines the challenges and paradoxes of transition, the dangers of a racist world, and, more broadly, how we carve ourselves up to be human.
