An interesting collection; I think in some ways the huge, huge reach of it was helpful (you get many perspectives, a ton of different ways that people understand themselves in their own disabilities, as well as their own relationships to queerness) and in other ways it was kind of a hinderance. There was just so much and a lot of it felt a little whiplash-y. I'm not sure it's a collection I would recommend reading all together, though I think it can definitely be a resource for folks looking to
4.5/5. Some pieces are better reads than others.
This book is so needed. The writing is exquisite. I'm really not exaggerating when I say these are some of the best poems, essays, and short stories I've read in years. You can read a full review at: http://readysexyable.com/ready/2015/1...
TW: sex senceI enjoy it but the main issue is that some of them felt weird to rate due being about their life, also if you going to read the e-book (like I did) some stories or poetry look different than the physical copy and they said every time (I don't what is the difference). But I think important to see people who are queer but also with disables
I didn't care for any of the longer works. Enjoyed the poems though. And always nice to read about people similar to and also different from me.
Brutal, honest. Not an easy read. Some entries are direct and powerful, which others are more artistic, surreal and abstract. TW for many, including: rape, suicide idealation, mental illness/depression, instances of homophobia, and the many, many illnesses and levels of disability the book covers. I’m glad to have read it.
jag störde mig på introt som jämförde funkofobi och rasism på ett väldigt förenklat sätt (från en vit persons perspektiv) och vissa texter var såklart bättre än andra men överlag en så himla viktig bok!!!
I'm a little biased, but I think this book is awesome. So many different stories of how disability and queerness are woven together in the lives of others... So good!
Full disclosure, I expected this book to be different in composition than it was and that has likely affected my experience with it. The positives of this book is that there is representation of voices sometimes unheard in anthologies like this such as Deaf queer folks, folks without super academic or radical backgrounds, and others. That said, I expected more essays than there were. I am not a big poetry person nor do I understand what makes poetry good and bad. When I found most of the entries...
