Fat Girl Finishing School

"Rachel Wiley, an author who holds many intersecting identities, has written [this book of poetry] as a love letter to her living body. When confronted with fatphobia, racism, misogyny, and shame, each poem chooses self-love, despite society's expectations of conformity. More than just a book about one single identity, [this book] makes intersectionality dimensional"--Publisher marketing.
