‘Water I Won’t Touch’: A Trans Ecopoetic
<p>Kayleb Rae Candrilli’s third poetry collection, <em>Water I Won’t Touch</em>, introduces us to a trans ecopoetics in which the body is as porous and communal as the earth.</p>
<p>Candrilli dissolves the boundaries between the human and non-human, between genders, when they meditate on what happened to their body after their double mastectomy-perhaps their breasts are “long dead, floating alongside jellyfish and plastic straws” (35)—while bringing attention to environmental concerns and the ways in which people destroy nature by deciding what is and isn’t “natural.”</p>
