Infos

My Body and I Share the Same Name is a poetry collection about the long, difficult process of living with trauma. These poems navigate memory, dissociation, sexuality, faith, and the uneasy relationship between body and self. The speaker searches for language equal to their experience, even when that experience resists being named. With a voice that is at once detached and deeply intimate, the collection documents what it feels like to survive while still being shaped by what happened. It doesn't offer solid answers, just the persistent act of trying to understand.

Born in 2001, C.A. Singh is an aspiring young writer living near Lincoln, Nebraska.

---

My Body and I Share the Same Name touches on difficult topics, often adult in nature. At times coy with poetic mechanics and other times startlingly blunt, it prompts the reader to consider these topics with increasing detail. A great read for those looking to understand how one might approach difficult or traumatizing events. Painfully open and raw, the book chronicles coming of age in a life where sexuality and trauma are inextricably linked. Written privately at first then gradually gaining a voice demanding to be heard, these lyric poems shock, bruise, indulge, and heal at once.
