Tendering the Body

<p><em>Tendering the Body</em> is a collection of offerings-to queer adolescen[ce/ts] [found] family and bodies that endure. The poems suture together backyard bonfires and secrets at Steak n' Shake ruminations on body hair and therapy and friendship and bits and pieces of a grieving body newly acquainted with illness. This book is a meditation on the juxtaposition between the visibility of bodies and the invisibility of their affective experiences made material.</p><p></p>
