A hermit crab retires its shell, lovers drift apart, and seasons churn, all amid Ever Jones's own narrative of midlife gender transition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jones takes up a tradition of writing--about the American landscape, solitude, wilderness, and the West--long intertwined with colonialism and heteropatriarchy, and makes it wholly their own. A self-proclaimed \"nature essay\" misbehaves, wandering away from the hummingbird outside Jones's window. In their chronicle of a week in Yellowstone, Jones navigates trails frequented by grizzlies and a campground where their identity is regarded as equally dangerous. Elk, bison, and bark spiders roam this book's pages, but it is the gray wolf--the embattled apex predator of the American West, narrow survivor of settler colonial violence, and vessel for American myths of independence--who emerges as Jones's shapeshifting coprotagonist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taking on a global web of colonial systems that seek to divide us, Jones disrupts loneliness and forges space for queerness and transness to be aliveness--to be transanything.","brand":"Curbstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52001766834407,"sku":"9780810148703","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_6d306db8-5b80-4c12-a13a-b89601ccfc6c.jpg?v=1776918780","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/transanything-essays","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
