Dani Putney's debut poetry collection, SALAMAT SA INTERSECTIONALITY, is a lyrical triptych that traces the evolution of the speakers identity as a queer, non-binary, mixed-race Filipinx, and neurodivergent individual. Each panel of the speakers life represents a distinct period of growth: a youthful beginning, which features important interactions with the speakers parents; a sexually charged middle period that demonstrates the speakers explorations of queer sexuality; and a contemplative third section wherein the speaker reckons with their various selves. Imagery of the American West percolates through the collection to ground the speaker in their intersectional identity.
