Description
Part memoir, part creative non-fiction, part poetic score without music, part off Broadway show without a cast, part bungalow for gender dysphoric bachelorettes, ‘Tis Pity is furnished with poems that dart lyrically in and out of each other, bumping like herds of chameleons racing through a self-elegiac labyrinth toward an unspecified finish line.
