hi, one of my favorite living poets manuel arturo abreu opens their latest collection, “Trans is a failure of language. Poetry is a failure of the body”. this week has been a consideration of failures, some foreseen: the failures of government & cis people to see Trans/GenderNonConforming people as human; some unseen the waves of personal depression & inability to process joy. but today, today, i am here, you are here. you reading this & i’m grateful. also today, MY DEBUT FULL LENGTH COLLECTION OF POEMS IS BEING PUBLISHED. i feel like i have to write it so intense to continually convince myself of it’s greatness. or that i’m worth it or somewhere in-between. anyway, i’ve collected some background sources & influences to my work. if you haven’t ordered Mannish Tongues get on it, pls!
