Read to Me from... Water I Won't Touch by Kayleb Rae Candrilli READ TO ME with Becky Karush

    • Libros

On Read to Me, we practice the essential, sensuous skill inside great writing — listening. We listen for what we love in the work, and then put words to why it's so, so good.

Today, we read “Transgender Heroic: All This Ridiculous Flesh” by Kayleb Rae Candrilli, from their 2021 poetry collection, WATER I WON'T TOUCH. We get to let this long poem sequence carry us on its currents. We get to feel its physical and spiritual transfiguration, and be inside its world-making love.

Plus, a tiny manifesto on the radical, strange pleasure of listening to poetry with an easy ear.
