OverviewWhat does your hair say about you? Exhumed from that shadowy place between dark and dawn, this connected story collection takes us on a stumbling scavenger hunt to examine fragmented memory and embodied artifacts of identity - like hair - to re-member the inner and outer self into wholeness.

Table of ContentsReviews"Avis Barlow possesses that rare kind of genius that is so generous, it makes us feel genius just to read and immerse our brain-heart-bodies in their work. Each paragraph is a gift, a shock, a prompt, a revelation. This is the book your nightstand has been waiting for. -Ariel Gore, author of 10+ books, most recently The Wayward Writer, and creator of the award-winning zine, Hip Mama. How do you write on a linear page something so 3D, so splattered, so queer that it hurts to hold it to your ear to listen? Avis has bravely let us into their ""tangle of story,"" peeling back layers of sensitive skin to show the aching drive to be seen and known in a world of coverup stories. They tell a non-binary story through fragments & factoids that will leave your own heart pulsing, aching, and alive. -Juniper Klatt, poet and author of 11 books, most recently, we are breath in the body of god. Avis Barlow's voice is a talisman that guides us through the places where stories are written on skin and bone. Unguarded, trusting and spare, Corpus Memoria, is a cross between an Honour song and a field guide for empathy and hope. -Elisa Sinnett, author of Detroit Fairy Tales" Author InformationAvis Barlow delights in telling stories that privilege the warped and juicy moments of life. This collection is part of a larger work-in-progress that uses body parts to remember life stories that often don't get heard: those of women, children, and queer folk. When not writing, Avis looks up things for fun, runs questionable fermentation experiments, and wanders the PNW and beyond. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
