To celebrate Disability Pride Month, here is an excerpt from @violetagarza.bsky.social "Bless This Inconvenient Body" from her poetry chapbook, Brava published in 2025 by First Matter Press. I adore this book and was lucky to get a copy when Violeta aided my April @geminiink.bsky.social workshop
A graphic photo of a bright blue and cloudy day in Texas overlooking a field of Bluebonnets. Transposed over this photo is a torn sheet of white notebook paper taped down with blue and black handwriting that says Bless This Inconvenient Body, The Earth's core slows to a tepid halt. From there, a whisper-we've belonged to each other this entire time. This entire time.A graphic photo of a bright blue and cloudy day in Texas overlooking a field of Bluebonnets. Transposed over this photo is a torn sheet of white notebook paper taped down and transposed over this page are two photos, one of the book Brava by Violeta Garza sitting on an open notebook and the one below of Violeta Garza wearing a striped rainbow shirt posing in front of a colorful mural.
