Summary:
A collection that straddles poetry and self-care and offers up a compassionate alternative to cancel culture. For many, the past few years have been extremely difficult. A global pandemic has isolated us from one another. The climate crisis intensifies, and the toxicity of social media continues to splinter communities. With her faith in humanity tested, Kai Cheng Thom began to write. Whether they were prayers or spells or poems -- and whether there's even a difference -- she wasn't yet sure. But in a cloud of grief and loss, these writings became a source of deep solace. She wrote to affirm the outcasts, witches, and weirdos she calls her kin. She wrote through rage and mourning, and toward forgiveness -- of flawed but nonetheless lovable men, of people with good intentions who harm their own, of those seemingly beyond saving. She wrote her way out of despair and into love.
