Description

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.
