About this item
by Jan Beatty (Author)
In her third collection, Beatty travels inside the body to the blood that codes us, moving beyond the language of post-confessionialism into fourth-wave feminism, challenging notions of the "romantic" "and the "brutal" and how they exist within us and between us.
