Naked in Public - Paperback

by Leah Juliett (Author), Ed Stockham (Illustrator)

The internet keeps us alive in the age of abuse. The poems of NAKED IN PUBLIC dare to undress the reality and remorse of reclaiming your body after being brutally exposed online. While slowly dismembering the jowls of abuse, award-winning writer Leah Juliett reveals that they have chosen to celebrate their skin whilst mourning the ways in which it has been weaponized and sexualized without their consent. As the author declares, "this fever isn't forever" and "I am the holiday my body has always loved to live in".

NAKED IN PUBLIC is the bones the author leaves behind, through which themes of unabashed faith, gender, sexuality, sex and abuse, mental health, body image, violence, visibility, safety, technology, addiction, and grief are undressed and untangled in the hot light of day.
