Produktbeschreibung
In a waiting room, beside a sickbed, under the covers, in the closet, on a lonely moonlit run, on a cross-country drive home, before the beginning, and at the very end... These moments, at once intimate and commonplace, often pass unexamined because they feel too raw for words; the twenty-seven essays, poems, and works of fiction in this book break this culture of silence. The authors of Uprooted brave the terrains of illness, gender, sexuality, and identity to deliver astounding personal narratives about their humanity and mortality, love, and loss. Together, they offer a roadmap with which to navigate and transform norms and (mis)understandings about gender and disease in the world.
Autorenporträt
Megan Winkelman, Hayley Beckett, Megan Collins, and Liat Litwin founded Uprooted in Berkeley, CA, in 2014. Initially a response to the editors' personal experiences supporting each other through illness, the project has grown into a much larger conversation that engages patients, healthcare providers, artists, caretakers, and readers around the world.
