Summary:

"AND SUDDENLY I WAS JUST DANCING collects poetry by Tilsa Otta (Lima, 1982) in a chapbook of gender-defiant, carnal movement. The rhythm of perreo carries us into an anticolonial space of sensual and sexual liberation which pushes against binaries and towards multiplicity. Curating a collective of spiritual proportions, Otta's 'New Heaven' is boisterous and honest, zany and earnest, queer and color filled. Part of the Cartonera Collective Series, these books include a letterpress cover and are made by hand in community workshops, using sewn binding with recycled cardboard."--Provided by publisher.
