Disintegrate/Dissociate

2019 - DISINTEGRATE/DISSOCIATE

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 that 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.
