Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines
List Price – $25
Stocking Price – $15
A survival manifesto and celebration song both, Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines by Natalie Wee, special edition, is re-imagined as both poetry collection and art object. Featuring never-before-seen poems and re-interpreted older poems, this edition asks us to consider what it means to exist in bodies that are pathways to extremes of grief and joy. Illustrating the body as a site of resistance, lineage, and testimony, this collection invites you to explore both the tremendous suffering and radiant possibilities of living: “watch me swallow / the hardest thing / my body has made / & live.”
Risograph printed, perfect bound, 40 pages, 5.75″ x 7.5″.
