What do you do when the world threatens your belief that all beings are worthy of love? In this powerful collection of poems, prayers, and spells, a Chinese Canadian transwoman writes to reclaim her love of being human, through tender and intense letters addressed to such diverse recipients as J. K. Rowling, johns, and Jesus Christ, to fellow trans femmes, to the church of social justice, to compulsive caregivers, and many more, each with a suggested action, my favorite being: “Think of someone you’d like to punish….send them a book of poetry instead.” Read this brief book to fall back in love with being human—it begins by falling in love with the powerful, spiritually wise, and redemptive words of Kai Cheng Thom.

Thanks to The Dial Press for the free copy of this book.
- FALLING BACK IN LOVE WITH BEING HUMAN is a small gem of a book. It's a series of letters and poems to fellow humans interspersed with prompts for reflecting on these subjects and caring for yourself.
- Thom writes to everyone from fellow trans women to TERFs. Each piece is meditative and filled with love for the humans under the masks. Even when the rage boils through, there is still love at the center of this book.
