Luminous Body by Zoe Liegh, Brooke Warra
5.0
Absolutely spectacular.
"The bodies of my lovers are like celestial terrain. . . If I were to collect their skin, I could make a patchwork galaxy, trace the space between their freckles and scars like constellations, and traverse the dark matter of their flesh."
Warra's writing is enchanting. I never wanted this glorious little chapbook to end, yet the story feels perfectly complete. I feel like this story is something I could continually come back to in different stages of my life, as my mind and body and outlook on things change, molded by every new encounter as it does for the protagonist within "Luminous Body." I could vividly picture every moment that was described. Both the pain and mysticism of being a woman is drawn out so cleverly through the structure and plot. I thank Brooke Warra for writing something so deeply moving.
