Publisher's Synopsis
Dakota Senese has written with poignancy and honesty on the topics of mental health, faith, and being LBGT in The Marginalized Diaries, which is a compilation of his first two books: McNally Robinson Bestseller Middle to Margins, containing poetry on what it's like to come out as trans when you are in leadership in a conservative church, and Dear Diary, his second book containing essays, art and poetry from inside a locked psych ward. This edition is expanded with commentary about the headspace Dakota was in when writing the poetry for Middle to Margins, and gives a clear overview of what it is like to go from living a middle class whitewashed life to living on the margins in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Winnipeg.
