More glowing reviews for Beast Body Epic

thank you to JP Seabright and rob mclennan who have written good words about Beast Body Epic.

On GoodReads.com, JP writes, “This is a remarkable book, not least because of the author’s experiences of dis-ease, near-death and the slow climb to recovery, marred by ongoing and future health scares. Remarkable also in its telling. With a mix of poetic forms, beautiful visual sweeps of text, and at times painfully funny and painfully sad scenes and anecdotes, conveyed with lyrical precision, Beast Body Epic is a true epic. A remarkable and significant achievement.”

rob mclennan writes “"This is a collection that somehow manages to fly in multiple, even contradictory structural directions simultaneously, while holding together as a clear book-length work with a narrative through-line. If you haven’t been paying attention to the ongoing work of Amanda Earl [see my review of her stunning Judith: Women Making Visual Poetry anthology here], you clearly need to begin.”
