"In this arresting collection, Waite is a pathfinder, charting with disarming honesty, humor, pathos and willful perplexity the uncertain terrain of gender in ways that shatter assumptions, unsettle easy presumptions, and yet, through the sheer grace of her craft and deft language, that open us to the beauty of our strange human enterprise."NKwame Dawe.
BUTCH GEOGRAPHY is the first full-length book by a poet whose award-winning chapbooks celebrating the fluidity of gender have challenged and thrilled readers, and whose powerful, eloquent performances have electrified live audiences across the United States. Kwame Dawes says, "Waite is a pathfinder, charting with disarming honesty, humor, pathos, and willful perplexity the uncertain terrain of gender in ways that shatter assumptions, unsettle easy presumptions, and yet, through the sheer grace of craft . . . open us to the beauty of our strange human enterprise."
