Person Unlimited: An Ode to My Black, Queer Body (Unabridged‪)‬

You’ve fought and you’ve run away.
You’ve danced with other Black queer bodies until sunrise.
Sometimes you wanted to be caught and sometimes you wanted to be held.
With all that you’ve endured, you are nothing less than miraculous.

From
choirboy to drag act, grandson to mentor, poet to lover, Dean Atta has
played many roles in his life. In this formally inventive, candid and
courageous book, he explores what he has carried in his body: wins and
losses, shame and pride, pain and joy. Dean also investigates how
radical self-acceptance and a willingness to abide with discomfort open
up the possibility of a life lived beyond definition: a person
unlimited.
