Description
This collection of poems explores what it means to live with disability or be trans. Rather than viewing these experiences as challenges to overcome, Nichols finds humour, romance and stories in the everyday moments that make life ordinary. Through her own childhood and teenage years, as well as her time on the gay scene in Manchester, Nichols shares a deeply personal narrative of love, loss and self-discovery. At its heart is a powerful sequence about Nichols's partner, a trans teenager navigating a world that often misunderstood or failed to understand them. This poem offers a poignant insight into the struggles faced by those who are 'thwarted and misunderstood at every turn'. Through her writing, Nichols shows us that each body is an act of becoming, and that this is what makes us human. With its unique blend of humour, romance and storytelling, this collection invites readers to reflect on their own experiences and relationships.
