Larson spins a conversation between works of feminist theory--including the those of Cathy Caruth, Susan Bordo, Patricia Hill Collins, Anne Carson, Hélène Cixous, and bell hooks--and her own experiences. The book moves through Larson's recovery while questioning the limits of the very term and of language as a whole. She employs a variety of different forms, including prose, Q\u0026amp;A poems, and a timeline, reflecting both the speaker's obsession with control and her growing willingness to let it go. With a measured voice, Larson finds a path for how to move beyond logic during processes of trauma and recovery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGut\u003c\/i\u003e won the Omnidawn 1st\/2nd Book Contest, selected by Jericho Brown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmanda Larson\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer from New Jersey, and she is currently an MFA Candidate in Poetry at New York University.
