My Body is a Resource I Am Willing to Expend

A story of becoming; of learning what it means to care and be cared for, to love and be loved.

In 2016, Katie (Tom) Walters caught fresher's flu and never quite recovered and developed a severely disabling, incurable disease. This debut collection exposes the process of acceptance, reconfiguring their relationships and finding their place in an increasingly inaccessible world.

From their bed, they rebel in a world of sprawling plants and transcendental tenderness, where righteous crip pride collides with rage, grief, and mourning.
