Metamourphosis

METAMOURPHOSIS contemplates the transformative power of particularly queer, sapphic love, in all of its expressions: through grief, new relationship energy, and non-linear healing. The section titles are portmanteaus, playing on both the idea of evolution, and of the illusion of a binary. And while these smaller divisions are worlds in themselves, their cohesive unfolding implies the interconnectedness of all facets, stages, and nuances of love.

Alison Lubar teaches high school English by day and yoga by night. They are a queer, nonbinary, mixed-race femme whose life work has evolved into bringing mindfulness practices to young people.
