On My Way to Liberation by H Melt

On My Way to Liberation (BreakBeat Poets)

by H Melt

How do you imagine trans liberation while living in a cis world? On My Way To Liberation follows a gender nonconforming body moving through the streets of Chicago. From the sex shop to the farmers market, the family dinner table to the bookstore, trans people are everywhere, though often erased. Writing towards a trans future, H. Melt envisions a world where trans people are respected, loved and celebrated every day.

This is a short chapbook with some truly powerful poetry. "City of Trans Liberation" made me cry. Wow. I love the order in which these poems appear in the collection, because the last two wrapped everything up so well. I want to read everything H. Melt has written.
