ETA 03-14-25: Reading this after coming out as pan hits so different. And this collection’s ecopoetics are as relevant as ever.
There’s some really poignant and thought-provoking stuff in here, but the collection feels very uneven. I almost would’ve preferred that this were separated into three or four collections.
I’m so glad someone finally wrote something about how lightly Trixie Mattel treats rape culture in her comedy routines though. It’s punching down disguised as catharsis and I don’t appreciate such humour.
That’s not the only subject dealt with here, though. It’s also about environmental racism, language and its inherent politics, love, being a part of the lgbtqia+ community as an immigrant Canadian and loss. Just to name some of subjects covered.
