What Becomes of a Body: a lyric progression

Description

What does it mean to live inside a body that betrays you-and to make art from the wreckage?

In this singular, luminous work, Kristina Moriconi crosses every boundary of form-fractured prose, ekphrastic poetry, visual art-to reconstruct a life shaped by trauma, grief, and the relentless negotiation of self. The narrative fractures and stitches itself back together, allowing silence its own voice, distilling pure beauty from pain. What Becomes of a Body is both dissection and resurrection: raw, visceral, and devastatingly precise in its language – a tapestry woven from salvage and ruin.

This is a book unlike anything you have read. It will endanger you, remake you, and resonate long after the last page.
