The Body Called—It Wants You to Read This Book

Let’s be real: your body is the most honest thing about you. It remembers the time you broke your ankle in middle school. It remembers the scars, the births, the heartbreaks, and the late-night pizza binges. And yes, it remembers that one time you thought fringe bangs were a good idea. (The body never forgets bad hair decisions.)

In The Body Remembers, Maureen Sherbondy takes all of that—the grit, the grief, the joy, the contradictions—and spins it into poetry that is as unflinching as it is luminous. These poems don’t just talk about the body; they are the body. They flex. They ache. They betray. They hold beauty even when they’re fraying at the seams.

This isn’t “oh look, here’s a pretty metaphor” poetry. Nope. This is the kind of poetry that presses its palm against your sternum and says, listen up, friend, this is your heartbeat speaking. Sherbondy is equal parts mystic and realist, and she’s not afraid to call out the body for being both miraculous and, well, kind of a jerk sometimes.

Praise is already rolling in, with bestselling authors and acclaimed poets calling The Body Remembers moving, honest, and straight-up essential. So, if you’ve ever lived inside a body (spoiler alert: you have), this collection is for you.

Grab a copy for yourself, and maybe one for that friend who thinks yoga is a personality trait. Trust us—the body remembers, and you’ll be glad yours remembered to order this book.
