Michael M. Weinsteins debut poetry collection, Saint Consequence,meditates on the body as a site of continuous changeboth painful and beautiful, elected and imposedto explore the often tangled journeys of physical and spiritual transformation.What does it mean to inhabit a bodyand for that body to inhabit our shared world, in all its complexity? Saint Consequenceattempts to mine the gap between a life seen from the outside and the realities of a life lived. Influenced by time spent living in Siberia, Weinstein draws on experiences spanning gender transition, chronic illness, and disability to explore the tensions between public perception and private truth.Ever wary of the temptation to make a career of pain, (Adrienne Rich), these poems instead weave together personal experience and cross-cultural perspectives to invite us to reimagine our place in the world with greater nuance and compassion. Equally a personal reckoning and universal meditation on the complexities of identity, Saint Consequence expands from an examination of one man's singular experience of embodiment into a broader contemplation of the endless particularities of lives other than our own.
