How She Came to Be

About The Book: You Might Not Find This Work Speaking To You. But You Will Find Something That Will Stay With You. This Collection Is Both An Autobiographical Reflection On How The World Renders Certain Bodies, Names, And Collectives In Vulnerable Positions, Physically, Mentally, Socially, And Emotionally, And A Poetic Endeavour To Find Meaning Amidst The Structural Chaos Of Society. It Explores Deeply Personal Experiences. Among Them Are Questions Of Names And PronounsConcerns That Go Beyond Contemporary Trends. They Reflect The Struggle Of Someone Who Chose To Resist Letting A Capitalist System Run A Knife On Their Body. To Be A Queer Individual In All Manners Is Both A Vulnerable Existence And A Revelatory Experience. However, When Vocabulary Seemed Very Scarce To A Young Trans Individual For Their Experiences, They Chose To Revert To Poetry That Allows For Depth, Twists, And Freedom From Categorical Divides Of The World. It Is The Personal Note From Where The Collection Makes A Collective Appeal, Reaching Thoughts Of Anxiety To Eventually Rest In Contentment. About The Author: Subhi Cohabits Different Spaces In Their Life: A Corporate Individual, A Teacher, And A Student Scholar. Having Worked As A Teacher With Students Across Age Groups, They Presently Help The Latter Chart Out Their Career Pathways. Nevertheless, In The Midst Of All The Client Appointments, They Still Steal Away Time To Dive Into A Horror Plot, Or Some Hopeless Romance, Or Any Interesting Philosophical Discourse. Their Poetry Is Symbolic Of Their Queer Way Of Life: Someone Who At Once Identifies With A Way Of Being Without Putting On A StraitJacket For It. Besides Poetry, Subhi Also Writes Occasional Blogs, Which They Aptly Title As Serendipidities. As A Student Scholar, They Have Also Published Works In The Domain Of Gender And Sexuality, And Are Now Exploring How Vulnerabilities Of Lives NotHuman Can Be Understood By ReThinking The Category Of Human In Fiction, Poetry, And Academic Work.
