“This was a poem I returned to several times. At first, I admired the well-developed conceit and the sense of wonder. But the poem lingered with me because it captures something mysterious about the unknowable aspects of being in a body, and it renders this experience in a way that feels expansive and poignant.”
— Matthew Olzmann on “To the Purple Dye Inserted into My Uterus”
