Tonguebreaker by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
In their fourth collection of poetry, Lambda Literary Award-winning poet and writer Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha continues her excavation of working-class queer brown femme survivorhood and desire. Tonguebreaker is about surviving the unsurvivable: living through hate crimes, the suicides of queer kin, and the rise of fascism while falling in love and walking through your beloved's Queens neighborhood. Building on her groundbreaking work in Bodymap, Tonguebreaker is an unmitigated force of disabled queer-of-colour nature, narrating disabled femme-of-colour moments.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.
