    About this ebook

    I hope you find my poems universal in its message. Universal in how it makes you feel more alive, more related, more connected, more whole. We are all laughing and crying over the same things. And if it is honest enough, if it is good enough, silly enough, I hope it will pull something out of you that touches your humanity. Each volume is yet one more bookmark, one more crimped corner of yet one more turned page in my life. It is above all about what goes on in my house. What everyone seems to go through, and how everyone is caught flat-footed by life. I write because I must, but I hope you read what I write to feel. How does it make you feel?

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Perfection

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      It’s important to be yourself in life. Don’t think you have to adapt according to the people or situation you’re in. It’s perfectly all right to be exactly who you are, to like what you like. That’s a lesson it took me a long time to learn. I grew up

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
