  Richard struggled for much of his life with a mystery. Why was he uneasy and uncomfortable? Why did he feel like an imposter? In his sixties, he made a discovery that would change his life and his creative work. He realized that his life as a man did not fit with who he knew himself to be. He began the journey of transition that led him to emerge in his San Francisco community as "Richelle Lee," leaving "Richard" behind. 
  This powerful book of poems by Richelle is a magnificent collection of metrical poetry that gifts the reader with honest passion and delightful good humor. Richelle Lee Slota's poems open themselves to the world in private and public "letters" that dare to test a society full of hate and division. These letters/poems are stronger than the terror and rejection the writer faces. The beauty of her rhythm and her emotional honesty--and Richelle's dazzling technical energy--reach out to anyone seeking optimism and hope and provide nourishment. "Catch the cis-brained psyches' sober iambs/write, thrumming clever like a cleaver transgender tie-ins," Richelle writes. See the gifted person who has discarded her dead name and be captivated, enlarged, and changed by this writer of unique and moving poetry, who courageously signs her new name to every poem.

  Oi You Lot

  'The sky belongs to everybody and everybody belongs to the sky.
  When the genie comes out, wish for late busesand missed trains, and beers on benches,because when someone is gone, they are gone.'
  Kareem Parkins-Brown's highly-anticipated pamphlet is an audacious and richly plural celebration of friends and selves, present and otherwise. In Parkins-Brown's hands, language bends like an illusionist's spoon – a dazzling, fisheye-lens distortion of daily grief, absurdity and communion – while reminding us always that the trick is to carry on living.
  'Kareem Parkins-Brown's excellent pamphlet is like a funeral held in a bouncy castle: the line-breaks slip on their own tears, jumping mourners get bruised by their collisions and the laughing starts to sound a lot like crying.' Caroline Bird
  'I have been waiting for this book for years. There's no voice like Kareem Parkin-Brown's. Sacred and profane, these are critical, kinetic poems for, and of, right now.' Rachel Long
  'Kareem Parkins-Brown is one of the most beloved wordsmiths on the London poetry circuit. 'Oi You Lot' will show its readers why.' Raymond Antrobus
