pickSo many cool ideas and thoughts in this book; lines filled with imagery and moods I found myself underlining the shit out of. The work delves deep into the psyche, the relationship of mind to body, the expression of sexuality, the expression of oneself physically, the prejudice and/or hate that gets directed at certain bodies, how this prejudice/hate affects one‘s mental state—inducing anxiety and stress and fear, etc.—and so on.
A great read.
