In her passionate and humorous new collection, Missed Her, Ivan E. Coyote takes readers on an intimate journey, both literal and figurative, through the experiences of her life: from a year spent in eastern Canada, to her return to the west coast, to travels in-between.

Whether discussing the politics of being a butch with a pet lapdog, or befriending an effeminate young man at a gay camp, or revisiting a 40-year-old heartbreak in her grandmother's kitchen, Ivan traverses love, gender, and identity with a wistful, perceptive eye.

Missed Her by Ivan E Coyote is celebrated for its vivid and honest storytelling, offering snapshots of life that blend humour, tragedy, and realism. With writing that strikes a balance between poetic lyricism and directness, Coyote effectively explores serious themes of gender roles and queer life. Through personal anecdotes, the book challenges urban-centric narratives of queer experiences, presenting small-town perspectives with warmth and perceptiveness. Reviewers commend its ability to make readers feel seen and understood, making it a must-read for its heartfelt and diverse exploration of human experiences.
