In her poems, Cecillia Mundts gives powerful and poignant testimony to living as a transgender woman. Changing gender identity is, by its very nature, a huge personal upheaval, but on top of that comes the reaction of the outside world.
It is often prejudiced and relentless, and Cecillia also had to learn that it is not always only harsh words. When she took to the streets one day in 2013, she was knocked down with a hammer and her life changed once again.
The poems are aimed not only at poetry lovers, but also people who want to get an insight into the problem of what gender identity really is. At a time when we are experiencing a significant increase in hate crimes, the book can also be used as a discussion paper in primary and secondary schools, and other educational similar places.
