The space alien speaker of these poems moves through multiple marginalized human identities ultimately remembering it isn't human at all. Through these poems, the speaker forms solidarities with nonhuman kin, reclaiming the memory lost to colonialism and civilization of what it means to be nonhuman and more-than-human.ETDenIn Copyrightqueer studiesecologycolonialismimperialismpilipinx literaturetransmasculinitytranshumanityThesis
