Onze auteurices queers dit·es marginalisé·es et minorisé·es dans une optique intersectionnelle racontent leurs expériences et parcours atypiques par le truchement de récits de soi, de poèmes, de manifestes et de lettres. Le tout est ficelé sous la forme de l’essai libre et éclaté (hybridation, narration, vers, citations, théories, analyses) pour rendre compte d’une épistémologie queer inerrante à l’expérience, la représentation et l’aspect identitaire de chacun·e. Avec des textes de Maël Maréchal, Kama La Mackerel, Matéo Pineault, Zed Cézard, Maisie-Nour Symon Henry, Éric LeBlanc, Laura Doyle Péan, Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay, dog food, Mégane Desrosiers, Marie-Ève Kingsley.
