torrin a. greathouse is a poetry powerhouse. "Wound from the Mouth of the Wound" explores disability, medical trauma, gender, family and grief, for starters. greathouse is a master of form and language. I also think this is a great book for anyone who doesn't think they "get" poetry, or think poetry is "boring". This book is anything but boring. Would recommend to practically anyone.

Visceral, raw, and deeply personal. Greathouse's poetry is full of striking and arresting imagery. The poems in this collection trace over the themes of violence and the body. Particularly a disabled body, and a trans body. This collection is a defiant scream into the darkness and I'm glad I read it.
