Genre: Poetry, LGBTQIA
Actual Rating: 4 stars
Content Warnings: Mentions fatphobia, trauma
This poetry collection touches up on subjects like grief, queerness, love (and heartbreak), race, and body image in all its glory. The ocean and sandcastles are definitely a theme here and I love it. I’m a zoologist that works with marine conservation, so I am 100% here for it.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes spoken word poetry. Rachel Wiley’s voice can be read just like that. “Revenge Body” is a beautiful collection of heartfelt poetry, filled with highs and lows that are so well written and so meticulously woven together that you can’t help but finish this book in one sitting (I know that’s what I did).
