"Transmigration" is a word that suggests transmigration of souls, and this poetry reveals the pain of the soul going through it. We all have experienced change that hurts, and have sometimes lived to see the humor it in. That's why this volume spoke to me so deeply.

It helps that Joy Ladin is a transgender woman who understands change at the molecular level. She's also got more poetry awards and publications than I can comfortably list here. She'll be reading her poetry next week at the new NYC gallery 25CPW. More exquisiteness after the jump.
