Ferocious and vulnerable poems about redefining acts of creation, destruction, deconstruction, and recreation, from a singular Indigiqueer point of view
a body more tolerable is a collection of powerful and haunting poems full of mythos, fairy tales, allusion, and magic. Divided into three parts, the book takes an intimate exploration of Indigenous grief, trans identity, and frustrated desires in ways that reject perception. Author jaye simpson conjures up dazzling multiverses throughout their mythic journey as they dance and run wild in their own manifestation of girlhood.
In these visceral poems, teeth gleam, graze skin, or sink into flesh, becoming bloodied and exposing the animalistic hunger that lies within. Pulsating with yearning and possibility, a body more tolerable is a book that resists typical notions of physicality and sex to dream of a world more divine.

Divided into three parts, the book examines Indigenous grief, trans identity, and frustrated desires in ways that reject perception.

No one is writing like jaye simpson.' - Billy-Ray Belcourt, author of A Minor Chorus and Coexistence'a body more tolerable is a work at once open and lyric, fearless and tender. Expanding grief's territory into moments of relation and desire, simpson also challenges 'home, as a wayward theory' into a poetics of self-mothering, of being beyond becoming. This collection is a fierce and resistant nurturing.' - Liz Howard, author of Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent and Letters in a Bruised Cosmos'jaye simpson is one of the most compelling and incisive voices of their generation.
