I could not have chosen a better poem for national poetry month. The raw and beauty of these poems written by a wonderful trans woman reclaiming her identity and joy.
Magnum opus
“ Sometimes I wonder if anyone would miss me if I just disappeared. Deleted all my social media accounts and ran off to live in the woods. I wonder if I unplugged myself from reality and let the poems I’ve written exist to my place, if I let my art be my legacy, would that be enough for me if my last poem is my last poem, would I be content with my final words? At one point, I might’ve said yes, but now, I’m not sure I’ve written my best line, let alone my best poem. In 2018, I thought I completed my Magnum OPS but now I asked myself can your great work be your great work if nobody sees it?”
Just wow
Everything about these pieces struck a cord in me. Thank you for these. Highly recommend for any poetry fan.

I've loved Parker Lee for years and wondered if we would be seeing another poetry collection from her, so I was very excited to see this one pop up on Netgalley. A really visceral and simultaneously magical book, it is raw and real and I'm better for having read it.

I appreciate the author's honesty and self-reflection on difficult topics, and I feel like this was a raw and powerful look into the experience of being trans. I think this approachable style of poetry would be popular with fans of Amanda Lovelace or Rupi Kaur, though I can't say many specific lines have stuck with me. I don't know that this title would have a lot of demand at my library, as poetry is often underappreciated, but I think there are readers who would find it very meaningful.
