At once brilliant and brave, tender and gut-raw, Lee Schwartz's Gender Artist explores and documents a mother's response to her child's gender transformation. These are poems that shatter and satisfy, convincing us that the deeply-examined life is the only kind worth living. Gender Artist is a must-read.

Schwartz uncovers the hard-fought fullness of herself as the mother of someone "not he or she, but all of it." Each poem unlocks a new door, leading us down an unexpected passageway of struggle and understanding.

We all fear for our children. What if our beloved daughter began to wear men's underwear and declared, "I feel more like a man than a woman"? Gender Artist by Lee Schwartz traces the intimate journey of mother and child in moving, beautifully-rendered poems.

In Lee Schwartz's storied poems one gender artist is the child "trekking out to pitcher's plate, / leaving her cello on the floor," while the other is the mother, who goes on to find "the man in me." This mother shudders and marvels as her daughter "becomes a man" - her "child as Houdini on 'Who am I?' day" in second grade. Packed with similes and metaphors, these are startling poems that will linger and foment.
- Elaine Sexton, author of Prospect/Refuge
