In the Name of ScandalApr’20San Francisco
In the Name of Scandal is a book of poems about slut-shaming, queerness, migration, and the art of surviving exposure. Written during the pandemic, it reads like a gospel of the unbecoming: half confession, half sermon, half stand-up routine. Each poem tests the body’s threshold for shame, desire, and belief — a muscular poetics of love, faith, and self-permission.
