You followed me in
And you crackle aliveā€¦
Could call you
By my name now you look like the first man.
I fashion you into him. I make you my weapon.
Feeling deadly?

With London serving as the backdrop for the collection, its lights, concrete and speed become the ache, skin and grief of the journey with the queer self, especially the queer body. By turns exhilarating and tragic, we follow on a taut journey through the city and with the self, through first encounters with cityscapes and sex, love, grief.

A conversational, sometimes biting, collection about learning to live within your own skin, Sensitise centres touch ā€“ and occasionally the lack thereof ā€“ as the vessel for romance, loss, joy and sorrow, archiving a queer experience that is honest, personal and vividly real in all its authentic beauty and ugliness.
