| Summary: | Amanda Larson's Gut interrogates the agency of a young, female speaker in the wake of trauma and desire. Larson places feminist theory in conversation with personal experience in order to examine the impact of such forces on traditional ideas of logical agency. The book moves through Larson's recovery while questioning the limits of the very term, and of language as a whole. She employs a variety of different forms, including prose, Q&A poems and a timeline, to do so, that reflect both the speaker's obsession with control, and her growing willingness to let it go. In this way, Larson's measured voice paves a way for how we can continue to live despite what happens to us in the process. |
