Weirdo

En savoir plus sur le livre

How does one live through trauma and emerge applauding all the good that came from it? In her debut poetry collection, Julia Gaskill strives to answer this question. WEIRDO is a praise of girlhood through the lens of grief. This book delves into the death of a mother, the loss of religion alongside the discovery of one's queerness, and the friends who adore you for all your stubborn eccentricities. Simultaneously a love letter and a eulogy to one's childhood, weirdo walks a tightrope through a muddled youth to find the people who better you, the memories worth holding onto, and the person who came out the other side despite everything.
