Description
Book Synopsis“I sew myself together / again and again” in urgent vulnerability, H Warren’s debut collection,
Binded, discloses their reality of living nonbinary in the rural context of Alaska. With breasts bound by compression, these poems explore the space that binds the body into itself, stuck in unrelenting forces of binary politics and violence. Each poem is a stitching and restitching of the self—an examination of trans-survival. This is a courageous collection—an anthem of Queer resilience and a reminder of the healing powers of community care.
Trade Review"[
Binded] is a sharp collection of work that is a collective act of political resistance, the themes of which will surely resonate with anyone staying abreast of gender issues." —Ashlyn O'Hara,
The Peninsula Clarion
"The poems share a musicality of language as they dance across their pages, learning sometime into outrage and despair and often into compassion and love. They succeed not only as art but as affirmation of the unbound possibilities of human life and spirit." — Nancy Lord, Anchorage Daily News
