Places I've Taken My Body: Essays by Molly McCully Brown
5.0
Molly McCully Brown surveys a life of navigating our own riven scapes, poetic renderings of such haunting realities.
This is known by parallels in both of our fragilities and strengths, which I found particularly in poetry, patience and prayer.
Sitting with this book gifted me a remembering of the places that my own body has been, the forms in which I have existed. Inspired, I began to collect notes on my own origins and ideas to integrate what may have until now been cast aside.
‘That there is no perfect reconciliation, only the way I hold it all suspended: wonderful, and hugely difficult, and true.’
