Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature

by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian

… a book that explores the fluidity, diversity, and non-binary aspects of nature, using examples from fungi, slugs, and other organisms to challenge human-centric views of "normalcy" and "sex". Weaving together memoir, queer theory, and scientific observation, Kaishian connects her own experiences as a queer, neurodivergent person with the "queerness" she finds in the natural world, arguing for a more expansive understanding of life.
