Overview
AĀ lyrical memoir that incorporates gender, race, and trans theory in order to excavateĀ aĀ mythography ofĀ home, love, and life in transition.
āHome for the Black American has always required ingenuity and radical imagination. Home is commonly understood as a place of bodily safety, a place where one can find themselves a resting place, but for me and for many Black queer folk, our bodies most often preclude any home-making with those kinds of securities.ā It is this reality that spurred K. Marshall Green's investigation into love among bodies that have been discounted by the mainstream as emotionally deficient and defective.
In his powerful debut memoir, Green recounts the story of āBaby Girl" and of āBlack Boi,ā the Black trans man she will later become. Invigorating this hybrid theoretical memoir with letter writing and biomythographyācontinuing in the literary tradition of Audre LordeāGreen explores the place of transitionĀ and reckons with the possibility of home as a Black queer person in America,Ā unearthing deep transformation and freedom dreaming possibilities.
