I Feel That Way Too - by Jaz Papadopoulos (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Lambda Literary Fellow jaz papadopoulos offers a poetically critical look at how sexual assault trials impact survivors.

A critical response to the #MeToo movement, I Feel That Way Too is an experiment in narrative poetics. It weaves through past and present, drawing together art, philosophy, the Jian Ghomeshi trial and childhood memory to interrogate how media and social power structures sustain patriarchal ideologies. Inspired by the works of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Anne Carson, A.M. O'Malley and Isobel O'Hare, these poems are lyrical and meditative, moving to make sense of the nervous system in battle and in recovery.
