Growing Out Of It

By Oliver M J Roweth

Written by Oliver Roweth between the ages of 12 and 18, Growing Out Of It is a collection of free verse poetry charting its queer, autistic author's journey through adolescence in his own evolving poetic voice.

"A vital and poetic testimony of lived experience pushing back at the notion that the young are somehow unequipped to know who they are and what might be best for them. If allyship is the work of listening, and it certainly should be, here is a voice ringing ...] with the things we all need to hear." -Willo Drummond

Please note that this collection includes discussion of death, suicidal ideation, queerphobia, and ableism, as well as graphic depictions of gender dysphoria and blood/periods.
