Review Quotes:
"torrin a. greathouse is in language's thrall. She knows a word turns flesh into egress, renders anatomy anomaly, and buries girls like her in ravenous appetites. To read her stunning DEED is to learn hunger's grammar and be changed."--Douglas Kearney, author of Sho
"At last! In DEED, torrin a. greathouse has forged a new record--blistering & radiant--of a seemingly audacious contemporary conceit: the trans crip body on its own terms.

This is the book I have been waiting for. 'Crooked prayer' indeed. Amen."--Meg Day, author of Last Psalm at Sea Level
