    About this ebook

    About the Book
    nothing is wrong

    i should bandage my feet
    from the repetition
    of tip-toe walking
    never on eggshells
    always razorblades
    if i made myself small enough
    maybe i would be too light
    to obtain injury
    but instead
    i drip
    drip
    drip
    blood
    across the floor
    mop it up with my feelings

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      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

      Turning Black Queer Rage Into Black Queer Joy

      Oct 1, 2021

      I have never been comfortable setting a place at the table for my anger. I always invited passion and excitement in and tolerated anxiety at the time, believing it was a by-product of my two favourite guests. But where was contentment, calm and joy?

      Feb 12, 2024

      It might seem like nonfiction writers get off easy when it comes to developing characters: We don’t have to create them from whole cloth, inventing layers of backstory and idiosyncrasy—the people we’re writing about already exist! But the work of tra
