Description
Experience a powerful journey of transformation and self-love, told through the evocative words of a trans woman reclaiming her identity and joy. Trans poet Parker Lee (author of the bestselling coffee days whiskey nights) returns with an all new collection of poetry, prose, and aphorisms. This is a journey from hopelessness through to self-discovery, self-love, and romantic love presented in three sections: moonrise, sunrise, and stardust. In moonrise, you'll follow Parker as she copes with various struggles, including alcohol abuse, disordered eating, gender dysphoria, and mental health. In sunrise, Parker finds herself coming to terms with and accepting her identity as a woman, and everything that comes with being trans in today's current political and social climate. Through that struggle, Parker comes out on the other side in stardust, dedicated to self-love, sapphic love, and trans joy. With raw vulnerability and unwavering strength, The Starlight She Becomes is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty found in embracing one's true self.

"The Starlight She Becomes is a beautiful collection of transformation and acceptance. Parker's words are drenched with honesty and care. A much needed celebration of being trans and reminder of what we're fighting for and how worth the fight it is.
