Starlight She Becomes cover

Trans poet Parker Lee (author of the bestselling coffee days whiskey nights) returns with an all new collection of poetry, prose, and aphorisms. This is a journey from hopelessness through to self-discovery, self-love, and romantic love presented in three sections: moonrise, sunrise, and stardust.

In moonrise, you’ll follow Parker as she copes with various struggles, including alcohol abuse, disordered eating, gender dysphoria, and mental health. In sunrise, Parker finds herself coming to terms with and accepting her identity as a woman, and everything that comes with being trans in today’s current political and social climate. Through that struggle, Parker comes out on the other side in stardust, dedicated to self-love, sapphic love, and trans joy.

With raw vulnerability and unwavering strength, The Starlight She Becomes is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty found in embracing one's true self.

“A celestial journey that will take you through galaxies of self-discovery, gender identity, & sapphic romance. Parker Lee has become an expert at balancing beauty with brutal honesty, & she has once again proven herself to be an essential voice of the millennial generation.” – amanda lovelace, author of she followed the moon back to herself
