(Gender)queer disabled storyteller, visual artist and Mr Gay GB 2025 finalist Jude FireSong revives his show about intersections of identity, transcendent love, found family and surviving a decade-long breakdown through creative practice (and sheer stubbornness). 'Such clear, truthful poetry, beautifully sequenced… enriching, honest and will stay with you for a long time' (Audience Review). A powerful love letter to the odd ones out, delivered with an unplaceable accent against a backdrop of original paintings, drawings and photographs. Based on a hybrid collection long listed for new word press's Chapbook Competition 2024.
