Description
This collection of poetry explores chronic illness in a burning world and the slow process of unloving those who hurt us.
Divided into three parts (Surviving You, Surviving Me, Surviving as an Act of Rebellion), Casper E. Falls’s debut collection is a tale of grief, loss, and queer love in spite of it all. It tackles becoming disabled during the pandemic, gaslighting and emotional abandonment, and the dichotomy of disillusionment versus hope.
In visceral yet grounded imagery, Falls breaks up with loved ones, womanhood, a healthy body, and the American Dream.

Advance Praise
""I find that his poetry speaks so strongly to its subjects and the intimate betrayal that comes from longterm gaslighting, and the pain of surprise disability, as well as the healing that comes from acceptance of self.
This book has meant a lot to me since I read it and I hope it will mean a lot to the other readers!“ - Early ARC reader
