Someone Else’s Sex (Inch #54)

Description

In this fierce and fearless arrangement of poems, Someone Else’s Sex, Robin Sinclair writes toward queer and trans liberation with clarity, focus, and precision. It is a book about living and surviving as a damaged trans person in a damaged world, shedding light on the ways that “the closet” of queerness harms everyone, regardless of their gender or sexuality. Although the book navigates difficult themes and questions surrounding sex, the commodification of queer history, and bigotry, it nonetheless insists on love and healing, on pleasure and companionship, and a liberated world for all.

All author proceeds for this book are being donated to the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund.

Includes the poems “Pink Triangle Park I,” “Pink Triangle Park II,” “Pink Triangle Park III,” “Her Blankets, Her Bookshelves, and You,” “She Asks Why Queers Look So Hard In The Face,” “Bone Dry,” “Simulacrum I,” “Simulacrum II,” “Simulacrum III,” “Simulacrum IV,” “A Palatable Simulacrum,” “Sex,” “Did I Fuck Before The Age of Thirty?” and “Fran’s Lace.”
