Summary:
"Chenille or Silk is a startling first collection of confessional poetry examining the slippery relations of desire, class, embodiment and trauma. Emma McKenna's writing traverses the bounds and the wounds of a family marked by poverty and intergenerational trauma. The collection asserts the primacy of intimacy and sexuality to subjectivity, as the poems move through the struggle to find identity, love and belonging in an urban queer community's ever-shifting economy of desire. Striking, brave and at times uncomfortable, Chenille or Silk captures the ambivalence--and the hope--of possibility."--From publisher.
