Revenge Body by Rachel Wiley

challenging emotional reflective fast-paced

5.0

Rachel Wiley is an artist with words. Her poetry was so unbelievably vivid; she created pictures with literary devices. Revenge Body explores a lot of different topics like fatness, race, family, abuse, and grief but the poems still flowed together well because Wiley has such a unique and strong voice. This is a wonderful poetry collection for every one who has been called an angry fat feminist and now holds that as a sign of power.

My favorite line from this collection was:
"My little girl heart with its stitched lace edges spent a fortune in waxy birthday wishes hoping to one day thrill my mother with my ability to magic myself steadily upright after one of her severings."

I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
