With a foreword by Jessica Valenti, an extensive introduction by editors Stacey May Fowles and Jen Sookfong Lee, and contributions from acclaimed literary voices such as Alicia Elliott, Elisabeth de Mariaffi, Heather O’Neill, and Juliane Okot Bitek, the collection explores some of the many different forms that survival can take.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom ice hockey to kink, boxing to tapestry-making, these striking personal essays address experiences as varied as the writers who have lived them.
