Unnamed Press Crumb-sized: poems, paperback/marlena chertock

• 3 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

Marlena Chertock grew up crumb-sized, with a rare bone disorder.

She uses this skeletal dysplasia and chronic pain as a bridge to scientific poetry, often exploring the rich images in science and medicine, threading genetics, space, and nature into her work.

With frank humor, Chertock takes on varied and critical aspects of identity--femininity, gender, sexuality--as they relate (or don't relate) to her disability, somehow succeeding in making them familiar and universal.

Her poetry is on.
