Portrait of My Body as a Crime I'm Still Committing (Button Poetry) - Softcover
Book 33 of 37: Button Poetry
Synopsis
In its five year anniversary edition, Topaz Winters' Portrait of My Body as a Crime I'm Still Committing returns with ten new poems, a revised body of work, & a foreword by bestselling author Blythe Baird. An examination of desire as religion, food as compulsion, & illness as a gut reflex in the face of girlhood's little violences, Portrait haunts the landscape of self-mythology & cuts straight into its own marrow. This book is a howl in the night, a fracture through the dark, as omnivorous & revelatory today as it was five years ago. "Must I say it to survive?" asks its speaker, balanced on the knife's edge between confessional & manifesto. "Then I will."
