Description
Look Alive documents the construction of a queer femme self in the hostile territory of American late capitalism. Its speaker encounters darkness--in the form of violence perpetrated by both individuals and by societal systems of power and oppression--and yet, rejects the narratives articulated by that violence, celebrating instead softness and gentleness, and ultimately, cleaving to the natural world in all its radiant, mysterious queerness.
