The book, which the author organizes partially around the central value of \u201ctenderness,\u201d delves into topics such as love, creativity, care, and power, all while treating intimacy as a vast and multifaceted concept that can be applied to individuals just as easily as collectives. The contributions include a photo essay about care work, a poem about kissing, and a hybrid essay about \u201cBondage, Domination \/ Discipline, Service \/ Submission, Sadism and Masochism,\u201d also known as BDSM. Alongside these formally inventive approaches, other writers examine nontraditional subjects of intimacy, including, among others, a disabled pet and \u201ca contraption called a Milwaukee back brace.\u201d Just like Wong\u2019s introduction, which includes both a confession about her romantic history and a gloriously poetic description of her sexual desire, most contributions are intensely confessional, inviting readers into the writers\u2019 lives with radical, compassionate love and encouraging them to rethink their traditional views of everything from sex to love to care\u2026A poignant anthology about ability and intimacy that espouses a gorgeously original worldview.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
