Accounting for the Self, Locating the Body

Stories of Queerness and Place

About this book

How do queerness, place, embodiment, movement, and relationality connect and intersect within identity?

Through collected stories, lyrics, and poems, genderqueer author Kael Reid explores the messiness and complexity of life and identity. Drawn from the author's lived experience, this autobiographical collection reflects on identity development, relationships with people and places, movement, and what it means to inhabit a queer body that is always becoming.

This collection is ideal reading for students of Queer and LGBT+ Studies, English Literature, Canadian Studies, Gender Studies, and related courses.
