I hate parties : poems / Jes Battis.

Battis, Jes, 1979- (Author). 2SLGBTQQIA+ Resources (Added Author).

Summary:

Fifty poems to dance (awkwardly) between queer and anxious spaces. Social anxiety runs through I Hate Parties like a current. Recorded on deliberately shaky media, this collection offers the B-side of growing up queer, autistic and nonbinary. From Scruff dates to mix tapes, Jes Battis cruises (and crashes) through wild feelings and minor catastrophes.
