Consensual Genocide by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
Poetry. Gay & Lesbian Studies. Asian Studies. This long-awaited first collection of poetry by queer Sri Lankan writer and spoken-word artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha is full of the stories we've been waiting for. Tracing bloodlines from Sri Lanka's civil wars to Brooklyn and Toronto streets, these fierce poems are full of heart and guts, telling raw truths about brown girl border crossings before and after 9/11, surviving abuse, mixed-race journeys and high femme rebellions. Consensual Genocide celebrates our survival and marks our rebel memories into history. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's words leap off the page--urgent, sumptuous writing that demands, and deserves, a wide audience. I'm listening--Anna Camilleri.Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha is a queer handicapped femme writer and performer of Burgher/Tamil Sri Lankan and Irish/Roma ancestry. She is the co-editor of The Revolution Begins at Home and the author of the poetry collections Love Cake and Consensual Genocide.
