bouquet of thorny rose explores the intricacies of living in a deviant body through the intersections of pleasure, trauma, memory, and emotion. This hybrid collection burrows deep into relationships with self, others, and the world to examine, unearth, and name. To tend and prune. You will find stories of violation, reclamation, naked truths and hard-won joy. Written in a time of increasing chronic pain and isolation after the loss of one womb, two jobs, and the lion's share of community connections. During the pandemic that followed and still rages on.

Produktbeschreibung
bouquet of thorny rose explores the intricacies of living in a deviant body through the intersections of pleasure, trauma, memory, and emotion. This hybrid collection burrows deep into relationships with self, others, and the world to examine, unearth, and name. To tend and prune. You will find stories of violation, reclamation, naked truths and hard-won joy. Written in a time of increasing chronic pain and isolation after the loss of one womb, two jobs, and the lion's share of community connections. During the pandemic that followed and still rages on. Reflecting the fears it all invokes and how they leave old scars aching. A ritual to unravel what is from what has come before, to shine a light on the places of echo and panic. To pin them into place to clean and soothe and then set loose. The collection is a landscape furrowed deep as generations. Roots sunk deep in salt water and sweet rain, feeding on rock music and rolling thunder and wordless cries. Harvested as sustenance and balm. As sutures and soft bindings. There are dried gourds rattling like a locked bathroom door and blossoms so radiant they will leave pollen across your palm. These poems have never seen the inside of an academic institution. Would surely trip over the structure and spill raw truths across the floor. They flourish outside of walls in wild profusion. They welcome foragers and cross pollination. Digging upward through muck, they adorn themselves with bright tipped thorns and tender petals. Flirt shameless with the sky. Queer, non-binary, fat, aging, femme, disabled, working class, a survivor. A caretaker and an oldest child. A person conditioned and used and punished as female. A person with privilege of race and geography. A person shunned and shamed as deviant. Making lists of words to try to describe and decipher myself is a long-time practice, and no matter how long it gets, so much of the understanding lies between them. Making those lists into poems increases the potency. Layers the flavors. The intention is resonance. To share as food or medicine or hedonism or validation. To upend the basket and sift through, perhaps to find a seed of your own. So often we go hungry, prowling the shadows at feasts we aren't invited to. Seeking flavors labeled poison but tasting of home. Seeking antidotes for those they force us to swallow. Perhaps, for you, some grow here.

Autorenporträt
Sossity Chiricuzio (she/they) is a fat femme outlaw poet, a working class crip storyteller. What her friend's parents often referred to as a bad influence and possibly still do. She is the author of the memoir Honey & Vinegar: Recipe for an Outlaw (Beaten Track Publishing, 2019), and the poetry collection Stir the Juice (self-published, 2013). A Lambda Fellow and a sensitivity reader at Writing Diversely, Sossity writes as activism, connection, and survival. Her work can be found in a variety of publications including Stirring, Salty, The Rumpus, Lunch Ticket, Rogue Agent, Library Journal, and Rooted in Rights, as well as anthologies like The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care, Glitter and Grit: Queer Performance from the Heels on Wheels Femme Galaxy, and Not My President.Sossity was sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for their work hosting and producing Dirty Queer, a long running open mic focused on sex, gender, and sexuality. That tiny stage brought about big community connections, fundraising, writing workshops, and more than a few romances. To this day, friendly strangers will approach saying "Dirty Queer!?" She weaves outside the lines under the moniker Warped Femme, which is an art therapy and community service practice with all proceeds going directly to relief and resources for marginalized people. Sossity can talk about snakes, native plants, and sci-fi for hours, but luckily her partner Max can too (maybe not so much the plants), and the two of them are often found collaborating on fiber art, mutual aid, and songwriting for their performance duo Sparkle & truth.
