habitat by Kai Thigpen: ash covers

habitat is a poetry chapbook that features a non-binary speaker wanting to put down roots. We join them on a walk in a forest lush with fluidity and openness as they seek connection to their body, to other people, to the land around them, and to themself. 
 
Throughout these poems, Kai Thigpen examines the ways in which we are linked to and separate from our more-than human ecosystem. They explore the relationship with embodiment while experiencing gender dysmorphia, their social context in the US following childhood moves, and their Jewish and Irish family history.
