Synopsis

PHOENIX SONG has many recurring themes-- non-binary gender, queer and bi+ sexuality, and childhood and psychiatric trauma. As the traumas resonate within the speaker, we understand them as the root of mental health struggles-- rather than clinical, problematic psychiatric " diagnosis."
With Phoenix Song, Green establishes themself once again as a fiery truth-teller, a writer not afraid to taste the pomegranate or to stare directly into the portrait lens before the shutter clicks. This is a journey to the center of the soul. I wanted to carry this book against my chest like a nametag, like a shield. I look forward to more and more of Green's work in the future. - Meg Elison
A beautiful, poignant, and resilient collection of poetry and prose exploring the intersections of gender, sexuality, mental health, and being embodied. - Julia Serano
