Water I Won't Touch by Kayleb Rae Candrilli
5.0
Candrilli's poetry is life-affirming and life-changing. This narrative visits the past, present, and future. From one trans person's experience, Water I Won't Touch covers the heaviness of childhood trauma, the incongruence of gender dysphoria, the joy of gender EUPHORIA, and yes, hope. Candrilli makes me hopeful for a world where trans youth are loved and supported, where trans youth can become trans adults with bright futures.
"... the coast affirms
that lines are always changing,
and the tide tells me
my body can morph
as many times as it needs."
CW: domestic violence, child abuse, homophobia, surgery.
