Jesse Rice-Evans, Honor/Shame

From American poet and writer Jesse Rice-Evans comes Gap Riot Press’ first digital edition, HONOR/SHAME. In this femme, crip, queer text, Rice-Evans navigates deftly between confession and academic meditation, producing a text that proclaims its influences (and cites its sources!) at all turns. And those influences are diverse and wide-reaching. Rice-Evans reads through blog posts, newspaper articles, academic books, and episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, all the while asking: where is the place for a body labelled sick in a world where access is always an issue?

This digital edition is deliberately priced very low to increase access to this political, emotional, and beautiful work. The interactive PDF document contains lined and prose poetry, images, GIFs, hyperlinks, footnotes, and a whole lot of love. Typeset by Gap Riot’s Dani Spinosa with design help from Stace Schmidt and a cover designed by Jesse Pajuaar, HONOR/SHAME marks Gap Riot’s first entry into hybrid digpo, but not its last!
