It Was Never Going to Be OkayIt Was Never Going to Be Okay

Simpson provides a collection of poetry and prose exploring the intimacies of understanding intergenerational trauma, Indigeneity and queerness, while addressing urban Indigenous diaspora and breaking down the limitations of sexual understanding as a trans woman. As a way to move from the linear timeline of healing and coming to terms with how trauma does not exist in subsequent happenings, the author tries to breakdown years of silence in their debut collection of poetry. --
