This ecstasy is what critic Antwaun Sargent proclaims as \"an ideal, a warm depiction that insists on concrete possibility for another world.\" In this revelatory volume, Shikeith redefines the idea of sacred space and positions a Queer ethic identified by its investment in vulnerability, tenderness, and joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShikeith: Notes towards Becoming a Spill\u003c\/i\u003e is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous contribution of 7G Foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shikeith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597115231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597115230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aperture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Imitation Leather\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.00h x 8.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Shikeith","offers":[{"title":"Imitation Leather","offer_id":44055738220799,"sku":"9781597115230","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_252c7ec7-850f-4f40-9222-81d9ec93102e.jpg?v=1685037505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shikeith-shikeith-9781597115230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
