About this Poem

“My new collection of poems are healing poems [due] to the more than five hundred anti-trans bills that have been introduced to erase our bodies, our lives, and our freedoms with such hate. I hope [that,] with these poems, I transform the bills into spaces of reclamation, of hope, of taking our lives, bodies, our freedoms, and to give [us light] during these times.”
