Description
Eleanor Among the Saints is a thought-provoking poetry collection that explores the intersection of trans identity, faith, and the limits of myth and language. Rachel Mann's work delves into the queer joy found in counter-factuals and fantasy, drawing on the disputed story of Eleanor Rykener, a medieval trans woman, seamstress, and sex worker.
This shortlisted T.S. Eliot Prize 2024 and Poetry Book Society Spring Recommendation 2024 collection is a study in the power of language and imagination to shape our understanding of the world. With 80 pages of lyrical and introspective poetry, Eleanor Among the Saints invites readers to consider the complexities of identity and faith in a nuanced and thought-provoking way.
