WRITE ABOUT COMICS
Poetry and comics collide in this intersectional feminist anthology
featuring twenty-one stories that explore the relationship between
gender, identity and the body. A diverse array of award-winning
contemporary poets and comic book artists who identify as cis women,
trans, and non-binary, work together to create sequential art poems
showcasing the relevance, urgency, and power of both genres.
Beautifully illustrated and bracingly written, EMBODIED is a memorable
collaboration between cis female, trans, and non-binary poets and comics
artists showcasing the power of both forms in a stunningly unique
keepsake volume that will be treasured for ages.
Mystical, rooted, painful, joyous, and ecstatic; visions of the body,
our genders, and our very identities from across the spectrum of
contemporary poetry come together in this monumental intersectional
feminist anthology where verse and comics unite in spectacular new ways.
Featuring poetry by national bestseller Maggie Smith, Pulitzer Prize
finalist Diane Seuss, and National Endowment of the Arts fellowship
recipients Kendra DeColo, Jennifer Givhan, Vanessa Angelica Villarreal,
Kayleb Rae Candrilli, Ruth Awad, and Paul Tran.
