A poetic truth about living a non-binary body in affinity with ambivalent gerunds of ice is an essay that practices a method of poetic truth to discuss the ambivalent affinity one non-binary body lives with (various bodies of) ice in the politico-material circumstances of the rapidly liquifying (and drying up) world. Composed of text, sounds, scanned images and their descriptions, this work highlights the impossibility and refusal of writing out a totalising truth about living one’s non-binariness; it equally signals one’s need to occasionally and tentatively suggest its contours. The essay emerges after Kid Kokko’s Disappearing – A Passion, a performance and eponymous publication that figures a gender through haptic affinity with snow, ice, fog, winds and other socio-material weatherings that, in concert with each other, lend a non-conforming bodymind their textures and textuals to refuse a Westernly binary assumption of gender, its institutional imaginary and intra-corporeal encounters that practically reiterate this binary.
