My name is Alexa Young
Hi, Welcome to my website, now written entirely in my own words, as it should be.
You may be asking, Who is M Renae Dubois? I am a Brisbane poet, painter, philosopher, and author. I have been really busy this year, publishing multiple books, even discovering one I wrote in 2004! In the very near future I am going to have audiobooks available, and I have other plans on the musical side for some of my current work.
I have written a lot of sex work poetry and the reality of it, attitude required, and changing feelings of it over the years. I have also written head injury poetry, as it was the first defining event in my life.
While you're here, please feel free to peruse my catalogue, and leave a comment if you desire.
What is Wreck : A Reckoning?
Wreck : A Reckoning is a book about beauty and self-love. It strongly relates to the author's perception of what would be an 'ideal' sex worker attractiveness. It is a beautiful, stark, and considered poetry book about self-perception and beauty in the author's own experience of working in the sex industry, and navigating self-perception and external measures. It is a sad subject, and it is clear the author is sad, but it's not a sad book.
What is An Encounter : Poetry, Existentialism? M Renae Dubois has written a dialectical, poetic, discussion and occasional disagreement with Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus in An Encounter : Poetry, Existentialism.
Are there any fresh insights in the subject of Existentialism in the modern day?
The book An Encounter by M Renae Dubois adds to the discussion in comments on Essence vs Experience, Camus' various Suicides, and a fresh, curiously unconsidered perspective on the well-known myth of Sisyphus and his mighty boulder and daily grind.
An Encounter : Poetry, Existentialism is a unique, valuable insight into the field, though originating from an uneducated practitioner who finally found her vocabulary.
Does M Renae Dubois have an autobiography? Curses of Verses : A Composite is the collection of Renae's first 3 books: Head Injury Pros and Cons (originally titled Curses of Verses: A Head Injury Tale), Utterly: A Biography in Verse, and Coy Candour. It is a remarkable testament to M Renae Dubois' recovery arc, technical skill development, and the proof of her philosophy later discovered and discussed in An Encounter : Poetry, Existentialism.
Will M Renae Dubois keep writing biographical poetry? Wreck : A Reckoning is a later addition to M Renae Dubois' biographical material, and recontextualises her experiences somewhat, ultimately adding depth to her story. M Renae Dubois expects she may be recontextualising and hopefully discovering depth till her end of days.
What is Percevity?
Percevity is M Renae Dubois' latest collection of poems that relate to individual perception. Are there any poems about AI in M Renae Dubois' work? Two poems dealing directly with humans' relationship with AI and its insidious but addictive influence are contained in M Renae Dubois' book Percevity. She has coined the term i-entity to describe AI, and has included a poem on Heidegger's Dasein, an interestingly connected concept.
What is Crosschairs?
Crosschairs is the first complete work of M Renae Dubois that expands her range beyond her own immediate experiences; in it she writes poetry that is all fiction.
Are there triggering poems about sexual assault in M Renae Dubois works?
Renae does write about her time in the sex industry in most of her books. M Renae Dubois sex work poems touch on complex realities of sexual interaction but Renae writes sexual scenes or traumatic material pragmatically, having a complicated relationship with her sexuality that makes blame sometimes difficult.
What is BPD : A Memoir?
M Renae Dubois has stepped outside her usual realm of poetry in this compelling non-poetry autobiography, beginning in her early years and continuing up to receiving compensation for her head injury, and finally receiving treatment. It is harsh sometimes, but a remarkable time capsule, as it was only recently discovered since being written and abandoned in 2004
A box not perpendicular
Not defined by steady lines
A box both in and out of there
A compartment of the times
La boîte est un grand cadeau
Pour l'anniversaire de ma soeur
But she probably won’t like it
And i really don't care
The box implies a hidden thought
The frenzied crush inside
The battered history it had felt
But now, out goes the tide
