"Tonguebreaker" ($14)

"Tonguebreaker" is the fourth collection of poetry from award-winning poet Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarsinha. In it, Piepzna-Samarsinha beautifully illustrates what they describe as "surviving the unsurvivable." Through the topics of hate crimes, suicide, falling in love, and living life as a "working-class queer brown femme," they shine a light on what daily life is like for those in the trans community.
