...but i work here is a short collection of visual poetry, photography, and collage exploring living in a state of chronic illness. As a chronically ill person I found a lot of the imagery, especially medical imagery, immediately recognizable. I was unsurprised to learn through collage that I share a diagnosis with the author. When this type recognition happens in art I always feel an overwhelming sense of being seen and being in community. This can be rare as it always feels people do not understand what it is like to live constantly in the present tense of illness.

I love that books can bridge this gap for readers and I'm grateful to Alexandra Weiss for sharing experiences.

I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in January. Look the concept of this chronic illness scrap book poetry book is really awesome but it has to go back to the editors. Some of the work is currently inaccessible and unreadable. I loved what I did read though.

la verdad que la edicion del libro es bastante escueta. En algunas imagenes no se le leía el poema. Mas alla de eso, estuvo bastante bien para las pocas páginas que tiene.

a powerful chapbook about chronic illness/being young and sick. I loved the use of imagery and found poems.
