In Lisa Tellor-Kelley’s debut poetry chapbook, My Body Bonded With Super Glue, the poet draws from deeply personal experience to re-examine and challenge societal expectations around female identity, body image and breast cancer. In a world that still demands that a woman who survives breast cancer be seen as a martyr or a mystic, Tellor-Kelly refuses to be either. Instead, the speaker insists I don’t want a nurse. I want a lover. These poems demand recognition of female sexuality and physical desire while taking the reader on an unflinching and erotic journey through mastectomy, radiation, breast reconstruction, fear, rage, loss, passion, love and tequila.
