About the Author Onjana Yawnghwe was born in Thailand but is from the Shan people in Burma (Myanmar).
The book is an elegy to love and memory, a chronicle of holding on and letting go.
The Small Way is a passionate record of love and loss, and a naked exploration of vulnerability.
The poems reside in the stillness of two bodies and in the intersection between time and grief.
Speaking to the tenderness that exists between two people, the book explores shifting bodies and changing emotional landscapes, and examines what it really means to love someone.
Intimate and powerful, the poems celebrate the courage of a partner coming out as a trans woman and records the confusion in facing a partner\'s changing gender identity.
