Lukcia didn't know who Lukcia was, she was never allowed to truly meet her hidden self, and now she wakes up every day to discover a little more about Lukcia the woman.  In a new collection of poems and essays, she explores the journey of learning the finer details of her female authenticity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection of poems captures the struggles of integrating into society as a transgender woman standing on the outside of most social gatherings.  As Lukcia sought to become \"one of the girls\" in a group of cis-women, to exploring possible intimate relationships with men; she bravely stepped into her new life within her greater community.  She confronts misogyny directed her way as a transgender woman, while being selectively isolated from cis-women social environments.  Lukcia clearly states that she is a woman now, and see herself as on the spectrum of woman; as all women cis or trans are.","brand":"Archway Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48676143923441,"sku":"9781463010416","price":17.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781463010416_p0.jpg?v=1788471438","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781463010416","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
