Hard-hitting, sophisticated, lyrical exploration of the meaning of the body. Questions icons and invokes taboos.

Trade Review
'Wild girl fire' is what Jan Beatty calls it, 'that white-hot tearing' that ignites into art or self-destruction. Poetry against all odds. Poetry as the death-defying act. Poetry as the wild choice for a girl running reckless from the working class. Between odd jobs and odd loves, Beatty writes from the tender heart without flinching."" - Sandra Cisneros; ""In Beatty's courageous, beautiful, and harsh new book, the body is as horrifyingly without boundaries as the cosmos, as constricted as a prison cell. Boneshaker is fierce, intelligent, terrifying....A splendid new work."" - Lynn Emanuel
