Look, Marky Mark. I'm not saying I'm in it for all twenty-whatever volumes you're proposing here, but I'll give this one a whirl.

I was told to read this before I went to Berlin this spring, but I didn't. And then I couldn't find it in Berlin stores, at least in English anyway. Now I have it and I mean to read it, because I read queer things in June, because Pride, ironically, gives me anxiety.

The book of my dreams when my dreams are nightmares.

I can't stop looking at Victor Ehikhamenor's cover art. And the poems inside are pretty arresting too!

But when I see that the words I am asked to translate are blatant lies then it is my job to do something.... In those situations, I misinterpret.

I am instantly in love.
