Places We Have Never Been

Poetry about sexual and physical identity by an extraordinary prizewinning young writer transitioning from male to female.

It is a poetry of ghosts and farewells, of abandoned homes, and of realities preserved only in the memories of those left behind. A sense of closure permeates these taut verses: that definitive finality which always precedes change. It is an ending that must be explored in its most painful moments before giving way to the new reality knocking at the door. This collection of poems offers a universal and authentic vision, where personal experience is transformed to embrace the lived reality of us all and questions a void in which we have always existed.
