Books Acquired Recently

Bongiovanni, Archie. Mimosa. New York: Abrams Comicarts Surely, 2023.

I recently read about this queer graphic novel and it sounded cool, so I ordered it. I’m hoping to have time to start it this weekend.

Nossel, Suzanne. Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All. New York: Dey Street, 2020.

Nossel is the CEO of PEN America, where I recently began working, so my boss suggested that I read her book, and kindly bought me a copy.

Piepzna-Samarasinha, Leah Lakshmi. Bodymap: Poems. Toronto: Mawenzi House, 2015.

Sins Invalid. Skin, Tooth, and Bone: The Basis of Movement is Our People; A Disability Justice Primer. 2nd ed. Berkeley, CA: Sins Invalid, 2019.

I’m trying to read as much Disability Justice literature as I can this summer both for my own sustenance as a disabled person and for a few writing projects I have going on. These two books are part of that reading. Also, Piepzna-Samarasinha has become one of my favorite writers over the past few years, so I am trying to catch up with her earlier work.
