Preorder The Tenderness of Glass by Jodi Lin

Part memoir and part manifesto, Jodi Lin’s debut collection, The Tenderness of Glass, is a non-traditional book of narrative verse and prose poetry. Each of the book’s six parts are named after a Tibetan Buddhist Bardo. Jodi identifies as a gender-expansive poet, filmmaker and a person who hears voices. Taiwanese of the Seediq Tribe, they are currently based in Manhattan.

“Rapturous, ornate, straight-shooting, dirty and fun, contemporary AND ancient. This is the most various of poetry books I’ve ever read.Jodi Lin has done it all and this book of theirs, The Tenderness of Glass, is such a gift.”
