Welcome to Litsy!

This was a challenging book of poetry written in a mix of middle english and text speak. This allowed for some interesting word play that I found fascinating.

Reading this collection of NBA longlisted poems takes some serious work. The language is a blend of Old English and some modern twists, such as using numerals for words like “one(self)” and “to”. The poems focus mainly on trans identity, but the language made it a little hard to access for me. On #Hoopla
