small wings by (re)becca meier

“there is a small shape in the distant setting sky, & it could be / a plane or a bird of paradise—what I wouldn’t give to know.”

small wings by Becca Meier is a poetry collection that explores the concepts of gender identity and intimacy. Its lush descriptions and honest words allow the spotlight to shine on queerness, perception of body, feminism, and meaningful relationships. Stitching together bits and pieces of her own personal experiences through powerful language, Meier crafts an incredibly heartfelt piece of work that attempts to decipher what it means to struggle with dysphoria in a modern setting and the difficult experiences that come along with it. Packed full of vivid and intense expression, small wings may bring comfort to those who seek self-acceptance and love while drawing on the connection between the seraphic and sapphic. Using a palette of brilliant imagery and pulling from a well of deep emotion, Meier crafts feminist poetry that will resonate with readers who are trying to navigate their young adulthood, or those who remember a time when they had to.
