Intense free-verse poetry chapbook focusing on queer and neurodivergent experiences.

From an accessibility perspective, the narrow margins and colourful, shifting backgrounds are not ideal for readability. There is a one-page printable version (with a separate, $0.50 cheaper itch.io listing) which removes the colour, but the monochrome backgrounds still have enough texture to be an issue for some readers and the font size can get quite small.

The writing style is more of a tsunami of consciousness than a stream, which will probably appeal to some readers and overwhelm others. Still, there is beauty to admire here even if you fall into the overwhelmed camp (as I do). Here are some personal highlights - 

On queerness and suburbia: what our friends call the straight people zoo / in the suburbs that lie just past normal / five minutes from human kindness [...] we were just a couple hours, / or lifetimes, from freedom [...] my soul is flooded with what was once here / but too defiantly alive to stay.

On chosen community: we are all too bright to see, to categorise [...] the light shines on the faces of the joyously alienated, / the queer, and this is home.

On being trans: even our autonomy is illegal. we crowdfund // for gender-affirming care, knowing every moment of transition / could be our last & our forever & we are all too gay for this

On autistic relationships: 8 letters that have absolutely been said & implied in every moment that you / infodump at me & how do allistic people even date & desire is simply the / unstoppable flow of enthralled passionate divergence

Overall, this is a collection of compelling poems with a lot of interesting ideas to express. It would be nice to have a more accessible version available so more people could explore it comfortably, but in the meantime I hope those who can do so give it a chance. 3/5 - enjoyable.
