Disintegrate/Dissociate, Paperback

In her powerful debut collection of poetry, Arielle Twist unravels the complexities of human relationships after death and metamorphosis. In these spare yet powerful poems, she explores, with both rage and tenderness, the parameters of grief, trauma, displacement, and identity. Weaving together a past made murky by uncertainty and a present which exists in multitudes, Arielle Twist poetically navigates through what it means to be an Indigenous trans woman, discovering the possibilities of a hopeful future and a transcendent, beautiful path to regaining softness.

Arielle Twist is a writer and sex educator originally from George Gordon First Nation, Saskatchewan. She is a Cree, Two-Spirit, trans femme supernova writing to reclaim and harness ancestral magic and memories. Disintegrate/Dissociate is her first poetry book.
