Overview
"'My Body, Electric,' is a journey through time, space, memory, and art; it is a retrospective, moving outward from the self into a sense of collective understanding. The poems within the manuscript explore the hostility of man-made climate change, the risk of deviating from one's assigned gender at birth, and the grief of the passage of time; all the while, there are reminder of joy, connection, and survival through nature, art, and expression. "My Body, Electric" dives fully into the consciousness of a speaker who is simultaneously terrified and fascinated by the world around them, and within them, as they tease out meaning from a seemingly absurd existence." -- Abstract
