In
her second collection, Mann wrestles with the questions and
possibilities raised when trans identity, faith and the limits of myth
and language intersect and are tested. Eleanor Among the Saints
is a study in the queer joy found in counter-factuals and fantasy,
shaped through the prism of the disputed story of Eleanor Rykener, a
medieval trans woman, seamstress and sex worker.
