Publisher’s Synopsis (Roof Books)<\/h4>\n

Drawing upon Freud\u2019s interpretation of the memoirs of the jurist Daniel Paul Schreber, alongside gender theories, polemics and case studies dating from the end of the 20th century to beginning of the 21st, Trish Salah samples and remixes the clinic and the club, dystopia and draughty apartments, re-presenting an emergent transgender subject in all (or at least some) of her\/hir\/his\/their messy contrariness and queerly multiple biomythographies.

Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n

… Concerned with not covering the tracks of her own metamorphosis, the author dwells in the contradictions of a transsexual poetics, in its attendant disfigurations of lyric, ghazal, l’ecriture feminine, and, in particular, her own sexed voice. Without a memory of her father’s language, the questions her poems ask are those for a home known through photographs, for a language lost with childhood.<\/p>\n
