Summary
"Based on Tea Gerbeza’s experience with scoliosis, How I Bend Into More re-articulates selfhood in the face of ableism and trauma. Meditating on pain, consent, and disability, this long poem builds a body both visually and linguistically. Paper-quilled shapes represent… the poet’s body on the page. Major Themes: Disability, Queerness, Visual Poetry. Minor Themes: Ableism, Pain."
