Being Numerous

I started reading this essay collection the day after Trump's re-election and finished it for the most part the day of his second inauguration. Published during his first term much of what is discussed within remains relevant, possibly even more so now. Lennard discusses race, violence, love, and abolition. One chapter explores the lifelong ramifications of the legal response to pipeline protestors while another explores her personal experiences of attempting suicide. Wide-ranging and with a rare clarity of thought this collection of essays tackles the dangers and hopes of living right now.
