"SISSY" by Canese Jarboe (PREORDER)
I have been Queen for ten minutes in the glass cab of a tractor, the control / panel blossoming & blossoming. I don’t remember this / because of the murder-suicide, I remember the murder-suicide because of this
A chronicle of rural childhood and family, a history of queer rodeos, and a paen of magic against death, Sissy opens a field that is both a network of roots and a lyric map. Ships Fall 2024.
