Body, Dissected - Ivi Hua

i, the  girl turned mockingbird. opening my beak and
spilling untruths— pretending i did not need my own
voice. tearing my soft, tender insides apart instead.
     
mouth & throat

In Body, Dissected Ivi Hua roughs out our edges, the points at which the body feels most raw and real. In transition, in the hands of another, in a bright patch of sunlight that highlights a scar. Vivid and drenched in the language of longing, this collection will be familiar to anyone whose sense of settled in their own skin came on fitful and slow. Hua cries out to those who 'kept our pain locked away and secluded, coating the agony in luster,  held knives to our lips' and offers less answer than voice to the choir. I'm here and you've been here, it's time we got out.
