A reprint of trans poet, activist, and teacher TC Tolbert's beloved debut collection of poetry.In Gephyromania (literally, an addiction to or an obsession with bridges), Tolbert s choice isn t between female and male, lover and self, or loss and relief, but rather to live in the places where those binaries meet. Is a bridge simply an attempt to connect one body back to itself? Sensing the parallels between a lover who leaves and his own female body as it chooses to recede, the poems in Gephyromania explore the spaces between, among, across, and even within bodies.
