Description: A body just beginning to define itself discovers the inadequacy of imposed language. Though it rebels and implodes, the machinery it opposes is a shadow that spreads—an unanswerable question and, ultimately, a sentence. In Dear Parent or Guardian, the poet proposes a rupture with gendered language through the transcription of memory, exposing the injustice of the norm. Those who run freely under a suffocating heat deserve to be Ninja Turtles, nothing more.
