Reuben's poems are an unflinching and powerful exploration of the social and emotional effects of having a disability and growing up dealing with the mental and emotional ramifications. These collection of poems are an expression of knowing what it feels like to be different and be defined by your disability in a judgemental world while dealing with the pressures of being a teenager.
Through these six poems, Reuben breaks all the rules by deconstructing what it means to be black, disabled and bisexual. With raw sincerity and bravery, Reuben bravely paves his own way with these intimate anthology of poems.
