It's time to bare it all about bodies!
We all experience the world in a body, but we don't usually take the
time to explore what it really means to have and live within one. Just
as every person has a unique personality, every person has a unique
body, and every body tells its own story.
In Body Talk, thirty-seven writers, models, actors, musicians, and
artists share essays, lists, comics, and illustrations--about everything
from size and shape to scoliosis, from eating disorders to cancer, from
sexuality and gender identity to the use of makeup as armor. Together,
they contribute a broad variety of perspectives on what it's like to
live in their particular bodies--and how their bodies have helped to
inform who they are and how they move through the world.
Come on in, turn the pages, and join the celebration of our diverse,
miraculous, beautiful bodies!
