These poems comprise a fragmented archive in which woundedness turns language?figuratively and at times formally?upside down. The symbol of the wound recurs throughout, punctuating the ways both heartbreak and illness are experienced in the body. While these poems are often rooted in the body? mouths, tongues, legs?they also employ the corporeal to reach for the incorporeal?god, ghosts, healing. This tender text articulates the capacity of brevity to hold the expansiveness of ache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna Veprinska is the author of the poetry collections \u003cem\u003eBonememory\u003c\/em\u003e (University of Calgary Press, 2025) and \u003cem\u003eSew with Butterflies\u003c\/em\u003e (Steel Bananas Press, 2014), the chapbooks \u003cem\u003eStone Blossom \u003c\/em\u003e(Anstruther Press, 2022) and \u003cem\u003eSpirit-clenched\u003c\/em\u003e (Gap Riot Press, 2020), and the monograph \u003cem\u003eEmpathy in Contemporary Poetry after Crisis\u003c\/em\u003e (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020), which received Honourable Mention in the Memory Studies Association First Book Award.
