Looking at art and friendship, Kelly Weber's poems imagine alternatives to x-rays, pathologizing medical settings, and other forms of harm. Considering the meeting place of radiological light and sunlit meadows, the asexual speaker's body, and fox skeletons, these poems imagine possible forms of love. With the body caught in medical crisis and ecological catastrophe, Weber questions how to create a poetry fashioned both despite and out of endings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou Bury the Birds in My Pelvis\u003c\/i\u003e explores forms with plainspoken prose poems with a mix of short poems and longer lyric sections that navigate insurance systems and complicated rural relationships to queerness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou Bury the Birds in My Pelvis\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the 2022 Omnidawn 1st\/2nd Poetry Book Contest, chosen by Mary Jo Bang. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelly Weber \u003c\/b\u003e(she\/they) is the author of \u003ci\u003eWe Are Changed to Deer\u003c\/i\u003e at the \u003ci\u003eBroken Place\u003c\/i\u003e.
