Sprawling across art, eros, survival, myth, etymology, and musical touchstones from Bruce Springsteen to Against Me!, this new book both subverts and pays homage to the poetic canon, examining an artistic lineage that doesn't always love trans or disabled people back. Written in a broad range of received and invented forms--from caudate sonnets and the sestina, to acrostics and the burning haibun--\u003ci\u003eDEED\u003c\/i\u003e indicts violent systems of carceral, medical, and legal power which disrupt queer and disabled love and solidarity, as well as the potentially vicarious manner in which audiences consume art. This collection is a poetic triptych centered on the question of how, in spite of all these complications, to write an honest poem about desire. At its core, \u003ci\u003eDEED\u003c\/i\u003e is a reminder of how tenderness can be made a shield, a weapon, or a kind of faith, depending on the mouth that holds it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[sample text]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003efrom \u003cb\u003eEtymythology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'm clocked by etymology, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eby the way even stilettos take their name\u003cbr\u003efrom a knife.
