The poems in this collection take you through cities in bodies that don’t quite belong. They speak through moments in migration, music, film and pop culture; and are acts of resistance, renewal and reclamation. They are poems that make shrines of grimy corners, dancing till the sun comes up and laughing in the face of anyone who says they cannot take up space.
