Inhaltsangabe

USA TODAY BESTSELLERJ Brooke's I Can Tell You the Version That Will Make You Take My Side begins in a rich and specific New York City childhood full of binaries, then catapults into a fully realized, self-aware adulthood where the speaker experiences parenting, a breast cancer scare, and the complicated questioning of top-surgery."Brooke has crafted a poignant and often bittersweet examination of the self. Balancing raw beauty with existential struggle, the poems are delightfully layered while remaining straightforward; even readers who are new to poetry will have no trouble digging in. While tackling struggles specific to the LGBTQ+ community (such as top surgery), the author also lays bare feelings that anyone can relate to, such as isolation and self-loathing...The result is a penetrating look at identity, sometimes despairing and sometimes hopeful-but always inspiring. A quietly powerful reclamation of self-love and acceptance wrapped in compelling imagery."- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

J Brooke's work is known for exploring gender, family, and the incendiary combination of the two. With this, their first book, they deliver candid commentary on a unique gender journey. Born intrinsically male, assigned female at birth, and raised in affluent dysfunction in New York City, their gender expression attempted male, cis straight female, and cis gay female before embracing a nonbinary identity. Living without surgical or hormonal interventions, their struggle to find authentic place traverses female anatomy, friendship, suicide, family, testosterone, politics, packers, social media, motherhood, royalty, natural phenomena, cancer, marriage, and the pope. Brooke is Prose Reviews Editor at The Rumpus, and lives in New England with their beautiful spouse Beatrice.
