This makes the book very accessible to a wider audience. There is one somewhat academic essay but the rest of the entries involve people from a variety of backgrounds from art and performance to on the ground street activism. The book is very Queer and trans- inclusive and most of the entries and interviews are with women, gender non conforming, and/or* trans people of color. The structure and organization of the book is well thought out as it spaces each of these mediums apart so that the reader is not over-saturated. Pleasure Activism is a collection of essays, interviews, poetry, and art composed and/or collected by adrienne maree brown. Below that, in lavender letters is "written and gathered by adrienne marie brown." The title of the book is written in large purple and red uppercase letters and each word is split in half as it spans the page (each word taking up two lines.) The byline "The politics of feeling good" is in small blue letters across the bottom. Image: The cover of the book has a white background with silhouettes of many species of animals having sex in various colors including dogs, insects, birds, rhinos, lions, slugs, and rabbits.
