"I'm a woman. I support them. I'm bisexual. I support them. I'm a
feminist. I support them. I endure regular abuse for being trans. I
support them. I am called a "poof" by the unenlightened. I support
them. My name is Lesley, and I'm a woman that is to say that I am
human, just like you, and you like me." A meditation on the passing
of time, a declaration that life, love and poetry are defined by
time, are all about time and timing. Here are love poems, life
poems, elegies, aubades, odes, existential solitude poems, prose
poems, joyous poems of fleeting human pleasures, poems
compassionate, sanguine and witty, poems delicate with
vulnerability, urgent poems on survival over time. * These are
powerful, moving and accomplished poems that speak to all humanity,
written by a certain woman documenting her uncertain becomings over
time. Whatever the certainties of those enforcing it or of those of
us willingly or unwillingly defined by it, the category 'woman' has
always been uncertain. 'One is not born a woman', Simone de
Beauvoir observes, 'one becomes one'. But what is it to be deeply
certain of an urgent calling to womanhood all of one's life yet
violently excluded from such a becoming? What is it to win through?
