In Bodymap, Lambda Award-winner Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha sings a queer disabled femme of colour love song filled with hard femme poetics. The first book of the author to examine disability from a queer femme-of-colour lens, Bodymap maps luscious and vulnerable terrains of queer desire, survivorhood, transformative love, sick and disabled queer genius and all the homes we claim, make and deserve.
