Resurrected Body

Elizabeth C Garcia

New poems by Elizabeth C. Garcia. Sandra Meek writes, Clear-eyed and insightful, these startlingly honest poems examine what it means to be mother, writer, self, a body's archive of memory, when even 'firmament' offers no safe ground, but 'any moment / could swallow you.' Still, through language, the natural world, and human connection, 'the wide tent of each other, ' these poems seek a way 'to learn // what resurrection must look like, / how lightning's bright erasures / can bring you to the brink, and allow you, / again and again, to start over.'" Katie Manning, editor of Whale Road Review, notes, "In Resurrected Body, Elizabeth Garcia offers us one vivid version of what to expect from parenthood based on the experiences of both mother and child.... These poems weave together God, Mary Shelley, autobiography, and more, and the results are intriguing and surprising." Winner of the 2023 Cider Press Review Editors' Prize.
