Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is a dynamic collection of poems that explores the life of trans individuals today through the lenses of work, technology, and ecology. In Them!, Giles delves into the lexicon of gender and sexuality, expressing with irony, rage, and possibility. The visionary poetry of Them! creates an unusually energetic reading experience as it finds new ways 'to sing, to shout, and to strike at the cracks of the possible.' 'Reasonable people' and bureaucrats are heard, while a grieving worker contemplates the horrors of neoliberalism. A group of women at a quiet dinner faces a punitive, imaginary guest. Throughout, Giles weighs the artist's need for dreaming against the noise surrounding the activist. How can one be both? Must we set aside the struggle to create or 'listen to a bird'? 'Poetry,' writes Giles, 'is the best way I know to transform the anger I feel into something more alive and to offer that spark to others.' With a rich range of influences and subversive humor, Them! is a lively poetic intervention from one of the most essential poets of her generation.
