Winner of the 2023 Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize
This Is My Body
readily and unapologetically examines issues of race and ethnicity, ancestry and community, mental illness and recovery, queer sexuality and identity, and the body and disability. Traditionally religious language and hopeful imagery abound; so, too, do their spiritual antagonists: doubt, loss, isolation, and despair. But even in the darkest moments of a troubled inner life, insight and triumph intervene and sometimes even linger. An intimate exploration of the human experience, this debut collection proves itself more than the sum of its interior encountershowever revelatory or transformative any one given experience might be. It is a timely and necessary exercise in faith.
