As the title of this poetry collection already reveals, this collection focusses on survival. The author explores surviving domestic abuse, living with chronic illness, surviving America. The collection is split into three parts: Surviving you, with poems that center around a past abusive relationship, surviving me, with poems that focus on living as a person newly disabled by the covid-19 pandemic as well as a trans person and surviving as an act of rebellion, with poems that focus on surviving when the American dream doesn’t apply to you and the world is falling apart around you.
I found myself deeply moved by some of the pieces in here and especially the stories that dealt with exploring me/cfs really resonated with me. 
All in all, I feel that is very important that there is now a collection of poetry that explores disability, trauma and being trans and if you enjoy poetry that deals with heavy topics as well as short poetry pieces I can absolutely recommend this collection!
