On Always Being An Outsider

This collection of experimental, interactive, and erasure pieces explores belonging in its many forms and formats. Readers are invited to reimagine what it means to be and to belong.

With poems in quiz, fill-in-the blank, list, and Mad Lib-esque format, readers are prompted to revisit and reimagine preconceived notions of belonging in both inside and outside spaces. Boundaries are tested. Expiration is embraced. From erasures to nontraditional walks across traditional pages, the pieces play with both content and form. Explore travels and tales of red converse laces, queries on currency & hurricanes of human form.

If you enjoy poetry like puzzles, and are curious about new visions of belonging, you’ll love this collection. Erase prior notions of what it means to belong. Read the collection inside. Fill in its blanks outside.
