Literally Show Me a Healthy Person
Darcie Wilder's literally show me a healthy person is a careful confession soaking in saltwater, a size B control top jet black pantyhose dragged over a skinned knee, and unlaced doc martens. Blurring the lines of the written word, literally show me a healthy person is a portrait of a young girl, or woman, or something; grappling with the immediate and seemingly insatiable desire to document and describe herself and the world around her. This novel is a beating heart at the intersection of literature, poetry, and the internet, dealing with the aftermath of her mother's death, her father's neglect, and the chaotic unspoken expectations around her. Darcie Wilder raises the incision and puts direct pressure, but it never stops bleeding.
