Synopsis

This book is ideal for those who want to know more about me. And what my deal is. It’s my pet project. I described the concept to my lovely cover artist, Elena Maria Sanchez as the decoupage in the Moleskin journal of a type-a personality. I often hear about figures like Medusa or Persephone portrayed as iconography for survivors, which makes sense. Turning those who accost you into stone, or the perils of withering girlhood is a relatable subject matter, poets often refer to them in a contemporary way. I hear less about Syrinx’s objectification. Syrinx was turned, literally, into a plaything – an instrument. Or there’s St. Wilgefortis, a Saint who was crucified for growing a beard overnight, and famously painted by Heironymous Bosch. These types of characters are compelling in having processed my narrative. I want to share their stories and mine. This collection is about the parallels in my life and odd mythology. It’s about being queer and loud and clumsy and writing sermons on the floor of my bedroom in the middle of the night. This book is for all those who found a book of anything in their (Catholic) school library and thought these fables were more interesting.
