A collection of many forms ranging from epistolary to essay a knotted body of text talking in the language of pain queer and trans mixed Arab poet Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch’s debut poetry collection knot body is a playful, curious, and incisive call to return to the body that explores, among other things, the invisible and (trans)gendered aspects of chronic pain.
El Bechelany-Lynch’s work is deeply relational, evinced by the recurring address to “friends, lovers, and in-betweens,” by the ongoing dialogue they maintain with a number of important queer, disabled, and racialized writers, and, of course, in the curiosity with which they approach their own pain.
