In this trailblazing anthology, more than fifty self-identified sex workers from all walks of the industry (survival and trade, past and present) explore their lived experience through the expressive nuance and beauty of poetry. In a variety of forms ranging from lyrics to list poems to found poetry to hybrid works, these authors express themselves with the complexity, agency, and honesty that sex workers are rarely afforded. Contributors from Canada, the US, Europe, and Asia include Gregory Scofield, Tracy Quan, Summer Wright, and Akira the Hustler. As an antidote to the invasive and often biased media depictions of sex workers, <i>Hustling Verse</i> is a fiercely groundbreaking exploration of intimacy, transactional sex, identity, healing, and resilience.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Amber Dawn<br><b>Publisher:</b> Arsenal Pulp Press<br><b>Published:</b> 10/15/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 192<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781551527819<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Amber Dawn is a white queer femme survivor living in unceded Coast Salish Territories, Vancouver.
