Abstract
Alive in the Glamour Pit is a collection of poems concerning the unraveling and exploration of genderqueer and transgender identities, especially as they relate to queer romantic and sexual relationships. It’s also a book about the dissonance between the internal and external self which often comes from gender dysphoria; because of this, capitalism is an inescapable subject that often worms its way into the poems, particularly focusing on the ways in which capitalism informs, affects, restricts, and corrupts our perceptions of gender and sexuality within American culture, especially white American culture.
