Through a poetic voice that moves between the domestic and the wild, the author reflects on maturity, desire, and identity from a lesbian and fat perspective. This book offers an intimate and powerful look at the experience of being a woman, a mother, and a daughter, where tenderness coexists with anger and spirituality meets daily chores. A work that celebrates disobedience as a way of life and reclaims the complexity of existing outside the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poetry collection is constructed as a border body that inhabits seemingly irreconcilable opposites: youth and old age, vulnerability and strength, intimacy and public exposure. Gloria Fortún addresses the experience of being a \"fat lesbian lady\" as an act of resistance and affirmation. The verses travel through motherhood and lineage, friendship and heartbreak, grief and hope, integrating everyday elements like washing machines with spiritual and literary reflections. The work draws on references to revered writers and ancestral goddesses, while questioning social mandates regarding the body, love, and adulthood. Each poem reveals a will for desire to overcome the norm, in a poetic journey where everything can be true at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBodily and sexual dissidence as a lived and reclaimed experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFemale maturity from a lesbian and non-normative perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tension between the domestic and the wild, the mundane and the spiritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMotherhood and the relationship with one's own mother as axes of identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDesire, tenderness, and anger as forces that permeate existence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary poetry that addresses LGBTQ+ themes, especially from a lesbian and dissident perspective.
