Three Births tears apart our established conceptions of personal history and reimagines multiple forms of bodily transformations in a world buzzing with gender politics and overshadowed by the climate crisis. Shameless self-mocking, K Patrick writes with an incendiary sense of humour. These strange, erotic, unsentimental poems have a rebellious energy drawn from a sharp eye and diction -- Kit Fan
