Consider the Rooster

Oliver Baez Bendorf

'This visionary book of queer ecological thought asks: how can we make a home when home is a harm? Looking to more-than-human companions for cues as to when to fight, when to run, when to grow, and when to fuck, Consider the Rooster also reads like a survival guide for ethical ecological sluts. “Third eye is a gloryhole,” Bendorf writes, inviting us into this home without harm: “door’s open/soup’s on.” In the face of colonialism, capitalism, transphobia, and other intransigent systems of violence, Bendorf embraces transience and transition as forms of resistance.' – Brian Teare
