Tender Points

Tender Points

Amy Berkowitz2015
"TENDER POINTS is a narrative fractured by trauma. Named after the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia, the book-length lyric essay explores sexual violence, gendered illness, chronic pain, and patriarchy through the lenses of lived experience and pop culture (Twin Peaks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, noise music, etc.)."--From publisher.

An incredible work of poetic prose critiquing positions of power & abuse, medical metaphors, rape culture complacency, etc. There is so much more in that "etc," by the way. Just read this. "I know I have a terrible power I identify with the ocean"
