A mix of poetry and creative nonfiction, described as a queer disabled love song, in which Eli Clare explores survival, sorrow and dreaming: his connections to trees, tremors and the more-than-human world; the aftermath of childhood abuse; his family's history as white settlers on Dakota homelands; coming of age as a young queer person during the early AIDS epidemic; and the many genders beyond the binary of woman and man.
