This collection includes poems about men not to be fallen in love with, trans womanhood, the morning-after pill, the \"mind fuck\" of being raped by a romantic partner, and a tribute to the women who were murdered in the Montreal Massacre. In one story, a group of sexual assault survivors meet weekly and come up with an unique way to help police capture their assailant, while in another a dinner party turns to witty talk of racism, sexism, pornography, and time travel. One author recounts how she learned multiple languages in order to connect with her father, another reluctantly walks down the aisle in order to stay in Canada with the man she loves. For forty years, \u003ci\u003eRoom\u003c\/i\u003e has created a space for diverse voices. As Amber Dawn says in her opening essay, \"There is \u003ci\u003eRoom\u003c\/i\u003e.
