In The Direction Of You: a heretic's map, a healer's grimoire

By: Stephanie Greene

In the Direction of You might be the largest book of poetry you'll ever hold. There are no emaciated, malnourished, starving books in this author. Not anymore. It was written to be earthy and flawed and honest and vast and powerful and rooted and challenging. It was written in the hopes that someone else might hold it as a map of living and think, "something true lives here" before deciding something true lives in them too. So this is a book for heretics and healers. For deconstructors and reclaimers. For the ones who are burning down purity culture, patriarchy, religious rules, heteronormativity, and internalized transphobia. This is a book for the ones who have lost family and community only to wonder if there might be a place where the banished can build a village. This is for the ones who are hungry to stretch wider than an old life to find out what's thriving out in the wild. This is for the ones looking for a Third Way. You'll find generous margins for those of us without them. The co-author of Slow Burn , Corinne Shark, calls margins r eal estate . So when you open this book for the first time, remember that there's new terrain for you to claim on every page. Write your notes, write your truth, write your exit ramp. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you see those margins and know they're yours. This book won't be for everyone, so take what's yours and leave what's not. But whatever you do , run in the direction of you.
