How to Leave a Body


Add your own review!

Overview

This book isn’t about abuse. It’s about untethering. It’s about the disconnect. When leaving isn’t enough, when staying in your own body feels unsafe. This book is the grab-what-you-can-carry-and-run. It’s all that we can’t hold, and all that we can’t carry. This book is about all that gets left behind. Most of all, this book is about healing. This book is written from the body. It’s about writing your way back together again. This book is for anyone who ever got kicked out of their own body. Be that through sexual abuse, violence, trauma, illness, hospitalisation, sexuality, supressed sexuality, gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, addiction, substance abuse... it’s time we all went home.

Author Information

“Holly Winter-Hughes is a charismatic performance artist, widely sought after and she is not afraid to touch on subjects that are difficult or taboo.” Elaine Christie, Poetry Bites “Holly is a fantastic performer and truly original voice in the South West spoken word scene. Her poems are beautifully crafted, challenging and direct.” Danny Pandolfi, Raise The Bar “She is never afraid to use her own personal experiences, be that of mental health, sexuality, motherhood, etc, in order to expose important issues – and she flies the flag of such subject matter with exceptional passion, intelligence and articulation.” Jasmine Gardosi, poet and facilitator
