    About this ebook

    A fresh and unyielding poet, Sarah Patterson teaches us how to ask the right questions in her debut book, What Color Am I? These poems disarm the presence of vague assumptions and refuse to acknowledge social norms. Patterson writes about identity, sexuality, and the reclamation of oneself post-trauma. By accepting the inconsistency of duality and flirting with traditional poetic forms, we see the beauty of misunderstanding and the freedom in not only creating our own personal narratives but accepting them.

      REMAINING SILENT The facts

      Sometime in 1985, I sit at a table in a college library among tall metal shelves, gray or green, that squeak if you lean against them or slide a heavy book across the horizontal rims, a rinse of dust always in the air. I’ve pulled out a large art boo
