Belly Up
by Eva DarrowsThere’s a first time for everything.First time playing quarters. First time spinning the bottle.First totally hot consensual truck hookup with a superhot boy whose digits I forgot to get. First time getting pregnant.Surprised you with that one, didn’t I?Surprised me, too. I’d planned to spend senior year with my bestie-slash-wifey, Devi Abrams, graduating at the top of my class and getting into an Ivy League college. Instead, Mom and I are moving in with my battle-ax of a grandmother and I’m about to start a new school and a whole new life.Know what’s more fun than being the new girl for your senior year? Being the pregnant new girl. It isn’t awesome. There is one upside, though—a boy named Leaf Leon. He’s cute, an amazing cook and he’s flirting me up, hard-core. Too bad I’m knocked up with a stranger’s baby. I should probably mention that to him at some point.But how?It seems I’ve got a lot more firsts to go.
Belly to the Brutal (Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Jennifer GivhanBelly to the Brutal sings a corrido of the love between mothers and daughters, confronting the learned complicity with patriarchal violence passed down from generation to generation. This poetry edges into the borderlands, touching the realm of chora—humming, screaming, rhythm—transporting the words outside of patriarchal and racist constructs. Drawing from curanderisma and a revived wave of feminist brujería, Jennifer Givhan creates a healing space for Brown women and mothers. Each poem finds its own form, interweaving beauty and devastation to create a pathway out of the systems that have for too long oppressed women. The poems dwell in the thick language of "motherfear," "where love grows too / in the shining center of the wound." This poetry of invocation moves toward a transformation of violence that is ultimately redemptive.Today I Learned the Word Mondegreen Which means to misinterpret from mishearingthe lyrics in a way that gives new meaningas I have long misheard the homophony of my heart. I take it to mean the first flush of life after winter, that deepneed to keep growing after all your once-brightblossoms have seeded or wilted away. Have you ever needed to lieflat as if dead against the rockmarked earth& listen to the voices licking against the sky your past shuffling through the leaves like a remixtill you finally realize what your life has meant—& it aches? When the truth comes, let it come like jewelweedwilding beside the poison ivy. The antidotewithin our reach.
