Issue 2: Bodies Luminous
In Issue 2 of Off the Page: Poetry Reimagined, participating poets respond to Diamond Forde’s “fat girl Dances with a Stranger at a Block Party” from her collection, Mother Body. Diamond Forde celebrates, mourns, and redefines the journey of the fat girl through a landscape fixed on her disappearance and destruction. Artists, in collaboration with poets, initiate a conversation about the body and the way it takes up space.
