This powerful poetry collection seeks to map the emotional and spiritual territory of diaspora, violence, abuse, and exile. Kai Cheng incorporates autobiographical details from her own childhood and adult life with the rhythms of the oral storytelling tradition and fairytale motifs, poignantly depicting the plight of trans women of color.

Цитати

  • Melissa Verlorenцитираминалата година
    amber says, lying is the work

    of those who have been taught that their truths have no value.

    reading that one line

    makes me want to slide myself between the book’s covers,

    cry myself to sleep.

    i’ve always needed books,

    the way some of my punk queer friends need cigarettes,

    or weed, or clear packets of molly the size of a thumbnail.

    a man told me once,

    i’d like to wear heels in public,

    but i’d also like to live

    sometimes it’s important to be alive than to live

    condemned her to live alone on the moon, forever circling

    between the heaven she dreamed

    of and the home she left behind.

    and this is why the moon always seems so lonely, why

    the touch of moonlight always feels like tears
