Produktbeschreibung

'you need to be a warrior right now,especially in Wetherspoon's where you're slightly scaredto take a pissand for comfort you search 'Mudlarking' on your phone,as you squat in the cubicle with one footpressed hard against the doorin case someone should come inand realise what you are.' Jackson Phoenix Nash is an essential new poetic voice. Funny, tragic, deeply lived, his poems snap you wide awake. 'There is an artful balance of humour and melancholy that makes these poems into a gorgeously unforgettable experience for the reader. Jackson's poetry embodies both trans joy and trans vulnerability in such a candid and heartfelt way that it leaves a beautiful mark on the mind.' Golnoosh Nour 'This collection is essential reading: powerful, arresting, brave, heartbreaking and funny. Jackson's 'glissando' journey from 'geezerbird' through 'decomposing girlhood' and 'premature elation' to 'phoenix' is told with wry humour, deft imagery and open-hearted candour. It ought to be on every school syllabus.' Maggie Butt
