Sympathetic Little Monster by Cameron Awkward-Rich
Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. 2017 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Transgender Poetry. Through a combination of lyric, narrative, & fractured essay, SYMPATHETIC LITLE MONSTER attempts to make a space & a shape for the little girl who haunts our cultural/ personal narratives about blackness & transmasculinity. As a trans coming-of-age text the work is intensely inward-focused, but it resists the imperative of linear autobiography. Instead, it uses the personal as a tool to explore what kind of thing a self is, its relation to trauma & objectification, & its capacity to be multiple.Cameron Awkward-Rich's work includes the chapbook TRANSIT (Button Poetry, 2015) and the collection SYMPATHETIC LITTLE MONSTER (Ricochet Editions, 2015), which was a National Poetry Series finalist. He is a Cave Canem Fellow, a Muzzle Magazine staff member, and a Stanford University PhD candidate in Modern Philosophy and Literature.
