"A short and sharp book that combines intellectual density, lyrical integrity and factuality that is almost cruel in its precision. A fascinating and thought-provoking read." - Maria Stepanova, International Booker Prize shortlisted author of IN MEMORY OF MEMORY / "In Alton Melvar M. Dapanas's IN THE NAME OF THE BODY: LYRIC ESSAYS, multiple disciplines-theory, cultural anthropology, autobiography, and lyric essay-dance together elegantly and pointedly, forming a sequential meditation on gender and sexuality, embodied in spare and unsentimental vignettes of memory.
