Description

Naming the Body: A Queer Woman's Restorative Mapping of the Self celebrates and reclaims a queer woman's uprooted, mothering, ailing body and an erased identity through memory and language. An identity that just three decades ago could not be claimed because women, especially queer women, didn't have the language to signify and embrace them. This collection of sixteen units of text, freeing itself from all form or expectations, is written with unequivocal honesty and one single goal in mind: to give voice to a silenced body. The result is literary patchwork, storytelling under the stars, a cry, a riddle, a manifesto, even a road map for the future! Naming the Body is a contemporary hybrid memoir in translation that places the body at the center of multiple realities through a unique, interrogative, and entertaining reading experience.

About the Author
Myers, Robin: - María Mínguez Arias is a fiction and non-fiction bilingual writer, accidental editor, translator, and journalist born in Spain and residing in California for the past three decades. She is the author of Nombrar el cuerpo (2022) named among the Best Queer Lit of the year in Spain, the Int'l Latino Book Award winning novel Patricia sigue aquí (2018), and co-editor of #NiLocasNiSolas: narrativa escrita por mujeres en Estados Unidos (2023). Her essays, short stories and reviews appear in anthologies and journals in the US, Spain, and Mexico. She delves into her identity as an immigrant, queer woman, mother, and Spanish-language writer in the US to explore subjects such as memory (digital, familial, and historical), motherhood, language, the body, and everyday life and strength as experienced on the margins. She is part of what has been coined the #NewLatinoBoom: a 21st century movement of writers, editors, publishers, and other literary professionals that, aided by all things digital, are collaborating in doing the work in Spanish and in the United States. She works as Co-Director of feminist press Aunt Lute Books in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lives with her partner and their two young adult kids.
