In the Name of Scandal
In the Name of Scandal is a poetry collection exploring sluthood, queer migration, and spiritual exhaustion - "a manual for surviving the postmodern collapse of sincerity." The structure alternates between theological language and street vernacular, with each poem confronting how language both conceals and reveals truth.
The collection treats poetry as embodied experience, refusing contemporary irony in favor of tenderness as resistance. It draws from hybrid writing traditions, pairing text with hand-drawn illustrations and collage. Confession merges with critique, understanding exposure as "fermentation" rather than failure.
The work ultimately positions scandal not as ruin but as evidence of continued aliveness, with love remaining "the last raft we share when language and logic have failed."
