BODY MEMORY
Meriwether Clarke’s debut collection of poems, BODY MEMORY, traces the formation of identity against a landscape of gendered dehumanization, alienation, and violence. With lyrical clarity, her poems illuminate an interior voice searching for independence and connection amidst personal loss, social isolation, and righteous rage. Both tender and fierce, Clarke’s poems reveal an essential perspective on contemporary femininity.
