[...] if you’re a boy why’ve you got tits / guess you must be a bitch / boy your tits scare me / bitch your shoulders haunt me / put my mind at ease
Buchanan’s Are You A Weirdo? is a distinctly contemporary work of poetry with explicit themes regarding sexuality, gender, and trans narratives. Their second poetry collection, Buchanan touches on both transgender resilience, anger, and power, strung between their own artwork and photography. Rough, raw, and in many ways amateur, Are You A Weirdo refuses to conform to contemporary and academic ideals of "true poetry", instead, they write for the other weirdos they belong to.
