This moving collection of poetry by Felicia Zamora covers a range of topics from love, politics, identity, addiction, and the natural world. On one level, Body of Render explores a political theme—the 2016 election of Donald Trump and the author’s navigation through that event from campaigning to the presidency. But on another, the poems deal with the reckoning of life itself: love, body, constellations, universe, and identity all combusting together. The book is broken into four sections: At the Hand of Other, Raw Deliberation of Circumstances, No Apologies to America Anymore, and Infinite Design of a Mouth, Open.
