A community's most silent, yet most resilient stories can be found by listening to unsheltered youth.
Here's to Letting Go weaves through the memories of a child seeking safety that was never found at Home. Thornton shares the challenge of escape to only find shelter under the northern pines, unsafe rooming houses, and couches that came with the worst cost. An unfiltered view from a young trans, non-binary person who desperately sought help but could bring yet more danger. This poetry memoir shines a light on what it takes to survive a childhood of chaos and danger and find a path towards acceptance and healing.
Blaine Thornton is a non-binary community-based artist and founder of Mooncrater Theatre in Sudbury, Ontario.
