“‘Remember that you are meant to be here. / You must allow yourself to exist / in whatever way you have arrived to the space.’ This was an invitation I received upon entering Rob Macaisa Colgate’s Hardly Creatures, a collection unlike any I have ever encountered before. Part primer, part activated art space, part personal/community inventory, part lyric collaboration with mental illness—this book activates new zones between disability studies and poetry, allowing readers spaces for rest, recognition, and reimagination inside its dazzling and varied forms. An extraordinary document in care, mutual aid, and access that positions the self (all selves) as existing inside a network of interdependence.” — Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen
