This collection is an open invitation. It is a bringing together of previously untold creative essays with no hard lines or prescriptive margins. No normative spotlights, only an open space to speak, and be heard. "I felt the city in my muscles, my saliva. I wanted to be changed. I wanted to be in love." A young woman weaves her experience of abuse into the folklore of her ancestors. A student addresses his OCD by writing letters. A Paralympic medallist reflects upon his journey into a challenging new lifestyle.
