BIPOLAR LEXICON: AN AKATHISIA OF EXPRESSED EMOTION by Megan Denese Mealor
A lush, feral, emotionally charged collection written through mania, depression, spiritual numbness, longing, and brief reprieves of grace. It is lyrical, vivid, and unwilling to flatten complex interior life into something neat.
BIOGRAPHY OF A BODY by Lizz Schumer
A hybrid work of personal essays and verse that traces femininity, religion, eating disorders, sexuality, and selfhood inside a body that does not always conform. This is a book of questions, shadows, and stubborn self-examination.
BODY MEMORY by Meriwether Clarke
A debut poetry collection about gendered dehumanization, alienation, social violence, and the fierce search for selfhood. Tender and furious at once, these poems speak with clarity and force.
