Disabled aces, aces of color, gender-nonconforming aces, and aces who both do and don’t want romantic relationships all share their experiences navigating a society in which a lack of sexual attraction is considered abnormal.

New poet Grace Kwan is ruthless and nimble, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[[[Specifications]]]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 58.7574px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003ePages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003eYear Published\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5858px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrace Kwan is a Malaysian-born sociologist and writer based in “Vancouver,” the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.
