"There is no better landing place for our grief, our love, and our hopes for a better tomorrow than poems. They vibrate with an urgency that defies the dead and enlivens the future. But Othered is more than a collection of poetry; it is proof positive that becoming one's true self is still the most revolutionary act that any human being can undertake. Randi M. Romo shows us how it's done--with courage, great care, and community." - JAMES LECESNE, CO-FOUNDER OF THE TREVOR PROJECT
Randi's poetry tugs at my heart and speaks to my soul. In one way or another, I (and the ones I love) have experienced the same feelings and moments, and it's wonderful to be able to connect to a writer on such a personal level. She understands loss and pain and shares it bravely on the page, and inspires me to write my own truths.
