Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit by Jen Campbell

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Jen Campbell's writing is mesmerizing as she tells stories that explore mythology, storytelling, all of it centering living with a disability. There is exploration of hospitals, IVF, and being a disabled person with chronic illness in these contexts. The series of poems about the houses being different colors were my favorites while others simply enraged me as I could feel the disregard and disrespect for a patient at a hospital who is being treated like a "specimen" or not worthy of being taken seriously. 

I've read one other collection by this author and I'm terribly excited to continue reading her works in the future.
