Book Synopsis Ending the War on My Body by : Katherine McClintic
Book excerpt: Ending the War on My Body is a decade-long poetic march through the minefield of body image, self-esteem, and the eventual path home to one's own body. It traverses the life of the young feminine through visceral poems written from the trenches of disordered eating and body dysmorphia, the torturous chase for beauty and perfection, and the futile search for validation in romantic love. As the shots fired in youth begin to mend, peace between mind and body is negotiated. This collection of poems invites anyone who has scorned who they saw in the mirror to make peace with their body as it is now, and how it will age.
