Nonsense.” explores parts of humanity which are neglected, discussing themes such as queerness, theology, disillusionment, pervasive cycles of abuse, and coming of age realities. Sajah blends genres, such a as horror, sci-fi, fables, and magical realism, to reject the notion that darkness and happiness are contrasting ideologies which cannot live symbiotically. This collection promotes self-analysis and encourages readers to reflect of areas of shame, hurt, and trauma to find footing in moving forward from pains of the past. Illustrated by Lena Zelenz
