A vivid, beautifully wrought journey to the place where forgotten ancestors live and monstrous women roam and where the distinctions between body, land, and language are lost. In these fierce yet tender narrative poems, Kai Cheng Thom draws equally from memory and mythology to create new maps of gender, race, sexuality, and violence. In the world of a place called No Homeland, the bodies of the marginalized - queer and transgender communities, survivors of abuse and assault, and children of diaspora - are celebrated, survival songs are sung, and the ancestors offer you forgiveness for not remembering their names. Descended from the traditions of oral storytelling, spoken word, and queer punk poetry, Kai Cheng Thom's debut collection is evocative and unforgettable. Kai Cheng Thom is a writer, performance artist, and psychotherapist in Toronto. She is the author of the novel Fierce Femmes, and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl's Confabulous Memoir.
