DOWNLOAD EBOOKTGW3L embarks on a journey through the life of a 25-year-old Nigerian-American trans woman. While that may be essential and bold alone, just as such are her experiences of internal anguish, ostracization from peers, cycles of abuse, jail time, hospitalization; as well as the expected niceties of wealth, self-discovery, the pursuit of fame, and little glimmers of success and hope. The intersections of her demography with her own individual experiences & insights, combined with a varyingly theatrical yet honest tone and delivery, create a gripping and holistic story that will be sure to leave an inspiring and thoughtful lens for the reader to put on.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Diane Seuss writes with the intensity of a soothsayer." —Laura Kasischke For, having imagined your body one way I found it to be another way, it was yielding, but only as the Destroying Angel mushroom yields, its softness allied with its poison, and your legs were not petals or tendrils as I'd believed, but brazen, the deviant tentacles beneath the underskirt of a secret queen —from "Oh four-legged girl, it's either you or the ossuary" In Diane Seuss's Four-Legged Girl, her audacious, hothouse language swerves into pain and rapture, as she recounts a life lived at the edges of containment. Ghostly, sexy, and plaintive, these poems skip to the tune of a jump rope, fill a wishing well with desire and other trinkets, and they remember past lush lives in New York City, in rural Michigan, and in love. In the final poem, she sings of the four-legged girl, the body made strange to itself and to others. This collection establishes Seuss's poetic voice, as rich and emotional as any in contemporary poetry.
