This book features a bunch of essays and poems and letters dedicated to a variety of people and topics. I found myself really enjoying it. At times I was moved, at time inspired, but always enamored by the writing style and the love and resilience that shines through every single piece.
This is mainly a book about healing, a book that looks at the dark and upsetting things in this world and decides to approach even those with grace and love. Kai Cheng Thom's writing style is lyrical and evocative, deeply personal and briming with emotion that I found myself having to pause between poems sometimes to truly let it all sink in. There is definitely something there to take away from the book for anybody that has experienced opression, to let yourself be inspired and uplifted and healed, but especially for trans women of color.
