Beautiful Malady: Poems by Ennis Rook Bashe

5.0

Poetry is always a hit or a miss for me, but when I saw that this book of poems not only had queer and disabled representation but also incorporated fantasy, I was sold! I absolutely loved how the author portrayed the fantastical elements and used the genre to tell a story that is not easy to tell. Their portrayal of chronic illness and disability was moving. I cried at many different points, and the poems made me feel seen. I will definitely be checking out more of this author’s work in the future!
