The author really has a way with words, unfortunately I just did not connect with this one.

Lovely, wrenching poems about the trans experience. Is poetry my thing? No. Did I appreciate these regardless? Yes.

One of the best collections I’ve read recently. Greathouse has incredible and precise lyricism.

Standouts: the queer trans girl (made me tear up), metaphors for my body, on using the wo/men’s bathroom, still life with bedsores.

greathouse's cadence and breathiness of their reading reminds me so much of Stuart Mclean (I have CBC trauma)
