About Stitched on Me
“It is a necessary, truth-telling commentary on the conflicts and contradictions that thread themselves through our complex identities and our lives. - Joan Kwon Glass, author of Night Swim”
“Crafted with precision and tempered by King’s wit and humor, Stitched on Me discovers a different vision of aging and offers self-acceptance, the greatest wisdom of all. What a gift to read this book.” - Sally Ashton, author Listening to Mars and The Behaviour of Clocks
“No matter your generation or gender identity, you’ll find a woman you recognize in these pages—and it just may be yourself. These needle-sharp poems not only pierce the narratives of womanhood, they draw blood.. “ - Kory Wells, author of Sugar Fix
