Well Behaved Resistance: A Collection

By Shelby Strong

Well Behaved Resistance: A Collection explores what it means to grow up queer in a religious, small town. Through poems, anecdotes, and short narratives, the work moves through motherhood, loss, trauma, healing, love, and the search for spirituality outside of the church. It is a meditation on self-reflection, survival, and learning how to live in a society that so often refuses to respect women and queer folks.

The pieces shine a light on the grief of watching freedoms erode, freedoms that many were never fully granted to begin with. Well Behaved Resistance takes a raw and honest approach to the pain, grief, and unexpected beauty of being a human in the world.
