The poems in Compost Your Despair call on readers to move through their own personal upheaval to stand in solidarity with the rest of the world. Hayden Dansky navigates the fluid journey of self-reflection toward collective liberation, showing that none of us are free until we are all free. Dansky shares their personal experience in holding several identities-both oppressed and privileged-and shows how they intersect with one another in the work for calling for a free Palestine, striving to end the violence of racism in the United States, and pursuing queer liberation. These poems demand we all show up for ourselves, so we can show up for others.
