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.
