When There Is No One and There Is Everyone

Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. "There is no wish you were here / without you wish," say the friends keeping the sun in each other. Little church of lost accents coming back in unison, bay to river to aubade.

A collage- like mixtape of techniques and influences, WHEN THERE IS NO ONE AND THERE IS EVERYONE explores how to story a self to life in an unjust world, where gentrification and intersecting oppressions play themselves out in the intimate geographies of bodies, minds, and cities.

Rex Renée Leonowicz's debut collection of poems and illustrations is a celebration of friendship, freakdom, and what it means when people on the margins come together to rough it out in tough times.
