I call the hybrid genre (poetry and prose) that I work in "body memoir" or "bodyspirit memoir." Why? Because the stories, pieces and fragments come from hidden physical conditions I've lived through (inabilities, illnesses and injuries). And, because each physical challenge has also unexpectedly revealed communal stories and unearthed mystical realities.
Perhaps the body is an oracle.
I invite you to read smaller pieces of my writing, published online using the Substack platform. My Substack is entitled She is Here: A Body Memoir. I invite you to check it out and become a free or paid subscriber. Thank you, and if you feel so moved, please share my writing with others!
