Treason Cantos: Poems 2014-2017

Rejected by family and many friends for coming out as transgender, Catherine B. Krause found herself working for food and rent in 2014. By early 2015 she was sleeping on the sidewalk and taking whatever work she could while she began to explore surrealist poetic techniques and the political ideology behind these. In mid-2015 she got off the street and began to write about what had happened.
