Gaze Back

The author's note describes the work as "linking the feminine to the deviant" and, as I was hoping, I found another singlit book that will be inscribed into my id. Did I understand all of it? no. was this exactly the angry, slightly kinky, unhinged "lesbian grimoire" poetry collection advertised? yes. vibes off the charts. thoughts to be thunk. Every Singaporean woman/femme author that cuts into complex femininity and is boldly, apologetically a gremlin (ALK my love) adds 10 years to my life. "I was fascinated by the idea of the feminine grotesque as power." she speaks my language. 10/10
