Abomination Pink (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798950353017)

In Abomination Pink, Zuggie Tate transforms survival into song, offering a fierce and luminous meditation on Black Trans womanhood, faith, desire, grief, and self-invention. Moving between the sanctuaries and wounds of church, family, community, and body, these poems confront violence without surrendering to it, insisting instead on joy, tenderness, rage, and radical self-definition. Tate crafts a mythology where Trans women are flowers, storms, saints, witches, martyrs, and gods unto themselves. Unflinching, intimate, and unforgettable, Abomination Pink is a chapbook of reclamation-a testament to the beauty that survives every attempt at erasure and the power of naming oneself into existence.

Abomination Pink is the first of the Bridges Series, hosted by Sibling Rivalry Press, an annual chapbook series curated each year by a different poet invited to serve as guest editor and curator. Each curator selects four authors whose chapbooks will be published by Sibling Rivalry Press, creating space for new voices, unexpected conversations, and vibrant literary community. Rooted in SRP's core belief that poetry builds bridges and saves lives, the series seeks to connect writers across identities, geographies, generations, and experiences while championing work that is fearless, transformative, and deeply human. The 2026 curator is Kay Ulanday Barrett. .
