…America’s dismissal of women’s testimonies about pain, which is deeply rooted in patriarchal religious doctrine developed to restrict women’s rights. The poems write themselves.

addition: I got an IUD inserted yesterday. I vomited & nearly fainted from pain. No numbing agent, no warning—just Tylenol. Right now, as I lie on my couch with a heating pad strapped across my abdomen, I’m feeling a very certain way about women’s healthcare in direct relation to…

Slaughterhouse for Old Wives’ Tales is the southern gothic x women’s religious trauma x dinosaurs. The first picture in this post contains evidence of my Alabama yard debris burn pile, which elicited a neighbor’s worried call to the fire department. This is to say we live the words.

A REVIEW OF SUSAN L. LEARY'S MORE FLOWERS 

by HANNAH V WARREN

Susan Leary's More Flowers is a woven exploration of what can happen when a poet juxtaposes craft and theory. As the speaker avoids discursive identity, this poetry collection relies on scientific study, images of the grotesque, and monstrous tropes to analyze what it means to live in a feminine-coded body, slipping in and out of public visibility. When visible, the speaker becomes grotesque, either bursting with flowers or peeling away from her own skin. When invisible, the speaker loses the snippet of identity claimed during her moments of visual monstrosity. Underneath it all is a complicated mourning, a daughter suffering grief, but Leary shies away from a simple emotional turbulence and carries the reader into a much richer metaphor exploring how grief and femininity intersect and manifest on the body.

if my Fulbright were suspended in the middle of the year, I would have been stranded with a lease in Germany and no way to pay it. the Fulbright pays for rent and groceries while people are engaged in deep, life-changing research to make the world better.

I’m startled by how this critical essay could easily translate into a poem or lyric essay or novel. instead, this piece is academic, drawing from so many poets writing in the southern gothic tradition

In this collection that revises epic tradition, Bernhardt struggles with her post-war identity as a German citizen. And, on a larger scale, the poems establish what it means to be European through found, fractured, and experimental poems, reflecting Europe’s long and shifting cultural identities.

sickness memory! I was hospitalized with pneumonia when I was 6. I didn’t know what pneumonia was so my mom told me I had a bug—a common phrase. But I imagined bugs crawling inside me and started WAILING. I thought I had beetles under my skin. The gentle nurse had to explain viruses to a child.
