Instructions for Transcending the Human Body is a poetry collection exploring themes of transhumanism, digital identity, gender, queer identity and expression, mythmaking, and queer relationships. Split into two sections spanning the digital and the transcendentally personal, the collection examines the desire to change one’s form and how outside forces and persons shape that process.

Poems span forms, from mathematical to the lyric essay—instructional and devotional alike. The collection likens the people in the author’s life to deities; found family that has god-like influence on the shaping of a transitioning person. It explores those relationships—romantic, platonic, transcendent—and how they are new myths in the creation of something more than human.
