Biography of a Body by Lizz Schumer
Biography of a Body is a lyrical meander through what it means to be a messy, flawed, imperfect human. In personal essays and snippets of verse, it probes the influence of religion on a person's psyche, how the legacy of traditional femininity work their way under the skin, and the many pitfalls of living in a female body. Readers will find themselves here too, in a text that's at once intimately personal and strikingly universal.
