Read to Me from... Water I Won't Touch by Kayleb Rae Candrilli
On Read to Me, we practice the essential, sensuous skill inside great writing \u2014 listening. We listen for what we love in the work, and then put words to why it's so, so good.
Today, we read \u201cTransgender Heroic: All This Ridiculous Flesh\u201d by Kayleb Rae Candrilli, from their 2021 poetry collection, WATER I WON'T TOUCH. We get to let this long poem sequence carry us on its currents. We get to feel its physical and spiritual transfiguration, and be inside its world-making love.
Plus, a tiny manifesto on the radical, strange pleasure of listening to poetry with an easy ear.
