In this collection of poems and song lyrics spanning four decades, Ash Brockwell – interdisciplinary academic, artist, and transgender activist – shares his authentic life stories for the first time. They encompass love, loss, reverse culture shock, surviving depression, artistic and eco-spiritual inspiration, and emergence from a repressive religious community into a joyful exploration of queer identity beyond the binary.
This book includes Ash’s five Songs of the Gathering and an outline of his Songwork process – using music to hold space for the supportive, creative, and life-giving conversations that are so urgently needed at this time of global crisis.
