Thom's work is a must-read for white queers and cis queers everywhere. Tracking her complex relationships to race, gender, and her family, she does not flinch away from her experiences - fetishization, rape, abuse among them. She laments the ways in with the Queer Movement has failed her, and people like her, how we still have people who fall through the cracks in our communities, places where we are not intersectional. Some of these poems are tough to read, but they're all important.
