"tender, political, simultaneously exuberant and mournful, and lovingly populated with family of every definition" — Safia Elhillo

Lisa Luxx’s debut poetry collection is an examination of the tender violence that pools in all our states of wanting; from our intimacies to our uprisings. It searches the grief of our longing, from the eyes of displacement; carrying her experience in foster care, adoption, and as a mixed-heritage daughter of the Arab diaspora.
