Through queer:: eco:: poetics, Tamiko Beyer leads readers to reconsider the true meaning and implications of nature and natural order. Reclaiming nature as queer, Beyer inspires us to discard gender dichotomies and uncover the intricate relationships between bodies both human and elemental through syntax as unpredictable as the natural world's movements.
In her lovely, complicated poems, Beyer . . . suggests that queerness isn't relegated to gender or love but is part of the ebb and flow of everything. -Library Journal
What is remarkable about We Come Elemental is that it effectively queers nature and body without explicitly doing so. Gender, sexuality, and body coexist with the ever-changing tides, and desire is upheld as a pure form of (re)creation. Beyer has written a nuanced book that deserves a careful, joyous, and thoughtful read. -Lambda Literary
