“I think how beautiful it is to be somehow too fragile and broken to contribute to the country (by which I mean the United States’ economic and militaristic imperial agenda) and yet preternaturally dangerous to ordinary citizens everywhere. I try to explain this to a person on Tinder. I fail.”
“What Will Destroy Us” — the beautifully composed and richly layered essay by Rivka Clifton — is up now on our site. Give it a read using the link in bio.
@cutratebreakfast is the transfemme author of Muzzle (JackLeg Press) and Wrong Feast (Baobab Press) as well as the chapbooks: Action (Split/Lip Press), MOT and Agape (from Osmanthus Press). She has work in: Pleiades, Guernica, Black Warrior Review, Colorado Review, and other magazines.
