    About this ebook

    This explosive debut collection pushes against the limitations of gender roles, race, bodies and minds, and explores our insignificance and impotence in the universe. The concept of otherness afforded by a marginalized and neurodivergent perspective is brilliantly represented in this book.

      1.

      Across the pool

      the boy’s plum-

      dark eyes gulp

      refracted light

      all over the girl

      beside me.

      Stretched

      to indifference

      her thighs are

      perfectly fattened

      calves, flicking

      flies; their frisson

      of velvet shimmers

      made slow

      by this

      drugged heat.

      Made soft.

      2.

      I’m not that girl

      anymore. I

      have the

      conviction

      of dust and

      the cervix

      of a fifteen-year-old,

      my doctor says.

      Not bad

      for four kids

      so I believe

      in anything

      so I can

      believe
