This collection will resonate with readers interested in poetry, women's studies, and those seeking a reflective, emotive reading experience.
Elena Gomez's Body of Work is poetry improv. This is every funny and stupid and offensive and clever and meaningless moment you've encountered on the internet or in your life, selected, examined and dismantled. This is Gomez's way of saying, 'it's ok, you don't need to worry about all of this, I'm going to worry about all of this.'

Description
Poetry. Women's Studies.
I once wrote to a poetry advice column because I was afraid of my emotions and the havoc they wreaked on me. I called them 'a huge problem', but Diana Hamilton comforted me and wrote: 'Feeling pleasure is a legitimate way of developing as a person-writer!'
We got a kitten, and I tried to write poems for her. Or, at some other (many) times, I had a thought and realised I shouldn't say it out loud, only to find myself speaking it. When these turned to poems.
Could there be a poet in the sense of a hare, or another graceful creature, or perhaps bitter and less warm-blooded... — Elena Gomez
