by Rachel Mann (Author)
A poignant exploration of trans identity, faith, and myth through the prism of a medieval trans woman.
In Eleanor Among the Saints, Rachel Mann wrestles with the intersection of trans identity, faith, and the limits of myth and language. Shaped by the story of Eleanor Rykener, a medieval trans woman, seamstress, and sex worker, this collection delves into queer joy found in counter-factuals and fantasy. Mann's poetry invites readers to contemplate the possibilities raised when these themes are tested.
This collection is perfect for readers interested in poetry, LGBTQ+ issues, religion, and medieval history. Explore themes of transformation, spirituality, and self-discovery through vivid and evocative verse. Discover the queer joy in counter-factuals and fantasy.
