A [Cupboard] Full of Tomboys - Paperback

by Jay Farley (Author)

Through the poetic and raw lens of a neurodiverse filmmaker, A [Cupboard] Full of Tomboys by Jay Farley navigates the intricate intersections of identity, gender, and class. This collection unfolds the journey of an older, working-class non-binary individual. With a cinematic and surreal texture, the poet uses words not only to validate their existence but also to unlock the transformative power of language itself. From the confines of the metaphorical cupboard to the expansive, defiant explorations of a new, queer world, Farley's poetry challenges binaries, embraces fluidity, and crafts an unflinching celebration of lived authenticity.
