Willful misspellings and created constructions open language up to play, with phrases existing somewhere between English and Swedish to de-pathologize speech and thought. This fairy-tale treatise on otherness interweaves Nygren's own inimitable illustrations to visualize the idea that writing can be closer to a drawing of words than speaking. \"We know yet nothing,\" they write. \"We whisper it in the night \/ We are the pride glittering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSensory and sensual perception mesh through the liquid movement of the book's three parts as the speaker queers the notion of difference, exploring fraught ideas of gender and identity by tapping into the profane and the physical body. \u003ci\u003eblush\u003c\/i\u003e, hungry and dysphoric and tied inextricably to family memory, begins rooted in the corporeal before moving outside of it, calculating the speaker's orientation to others and to the world. \u003ci\u003efox\u003c\/i\u003e, meeting love with violence, characterizes pain with short, dissonant syntax and finds reprieve in the cover of forest.
