To Bring You My Love - AÏcha Martine Thiam
to be told you’ll never love another unless and until you love
yourself: to be made a fool in the most flattering conceivable way.
a thing of strange, sometimes pleasing disharmony, like hearing
chopin’s wrong note étude for the first time with little girl ears,
and understanding how it could spellbind.
you haven’t done much conjuring these days; these days
disappearance acts feel most like coming home. when the world
cold-shoulders you, methodical as a studied pas de danse,
when you are a ghost story of the purest sort, when you, peerless,
discover you have no survival instinct, the question is not why, but
how could, why should you
who gets a dateline talking head
To Bring You My Love explores what it means to align oneself outside of easy definition. With music as throughline at the intersection of creativity, Thiam challenges societal acceptability as a limit to our conceptions of self worth, identity, and mental illness. These poems, essays, and artworks stand as a manifesto to living fearlessly in an Othered body, and a mind both thankless and wellspring of boundless imagination.
Digital download includes a scrollable page by page rendering of the print version and a booklet file formatted to print into a fold and print version perfect for sharing (no shame or blame, our goal is more books out in the world) or tucking away in a bag, pile, or pocket, until it’s just the right time.
