| dc.description.abstract | In this collection of essays, a young girl keeps discarded butterfly wings in a secret box in her desk. Prayer healers and medical researchers compete for a preteen's faith. A college student finds friendship and heartache in a toxic, sexually-charged quartet. And after acquiring a feeding tube, a young woman finds solace in learning the intimate rhythms of her stomach. Blending narrative essay, lyric essay, and micro-memoir, AN ABSURDITY OF BODIES explores the physical, emotional, and sensual realities of inhabiting a body and the processes by which we become acquainted with our own physical selves and those of others. | en_US |
