I promised more news soon, and here it is:

of my Doll Studies manuscript this Spring.

I'm in such good company:

Meanwhile, I'm reading Kristy Bowen's

The Fever Almanac. Here are lines from

"Starve":

*** 

My bones are looking for something

to lick. Car crashes fill our mouths,

sugared and thrashing.

Beneath the pinks of our dresses,

in our collarbones,

there is famine.

***

I return to her work often to think about ways of

describing femininity as both trap and salvation,

and ways of writing about desire, hunger,

and sensuality in the context of violence against women

without sounding didactic. It's the lack of didacticism

that makes her lines so memorable.
