Poetry and comics collide in this

intersectional feminist anthology featuring twenty-one stories that explore the

relationship between gender, identity and the body. A diverse array of

award-winning contemporary poets and comic book artists who identify as cis

women, trans, and non-binary, work together to create sequential art poems

showcasing the relevance, urgency, and power of both

genres.

Beautifully illustrated and bracingly

written, EMBODIED is a memorable collaboration between cis female, trans, and

non-binary poets and comics artists showcasing the power of both forms in a

stunningly unique keepsake volume that will be treasured for

ages.

Mystical, rooted, painful, joyous, and

ecstatic; visions of the body, our genders, and our very identities from across

the spectrum of contemporary poetry come together in this monumental

intersectional feminist anthology where verse and comics unite in spectacular

new ways.

Featuring poetry by national

bestseller Maggie Smith, Pulitzer Prize finalist Diane Seuss, and National

Endowment of the Arts fellowship recipients Kendra DeColo, Jennifer Givhan,

Vanessa Angelica Villarreal, Kayleb Rae Candrilli, Ruth Awad, and Paul

Tran.

This edition includes a study guide and

a process art section.
