"In just 24 poems, GIRL. packs a punch. Through a mix of free verse, prose, and blackout poems that explore sexuality and identity, GIRL. will make you think about your own identity and the impact of the relationships in your life." 

—Shelby Leigh, author of Changing With the Tides

"GIRL by Robin Williams is a queer poetry chapbook that hits hard at imposter syndrome and general anxieties: what if I’m not queer enough? In “type of girl” and “type of boy”, gender is examined through a macroscopic lens, begging the reader to reimagine and repurpose expression. It’s not just a mirrored concept, and there’s so much between the glass. Williams’ harrowing accounts of what it’s like to grow up queer, alone, and utterly confused gifts the reader with the most powerful thing of all: acceptance."

—Rachael Crosbie, author of Peanut [the cat] auditions as Courage the Cowardly Dog (2022) and Trick Mirror or Your Computer Screen (2022)
