"This is the inside of the shell you hold close to your ear now after stepping on its sand-covered points"

A poem by 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝘂𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸 @courtludwick.bsky.social in the Spring 2025 issue

Or maybe it’s more like this: a nondescript palm joins another. The fingers are warm—they touch. The palms belong to one person. The palms are covered in broken fragments of something. They bleed. “They” is an intentionally vague referent. And, as you peek into the red gaps, you finally see the white hello of bone. This is the inside of the shell you hold

Feels like a good day for an excerpt from my review of THESE STRANGE BODIES by @courtludwick.bsky.social (ELJ Editions: 2024), published in @variantlit.bsky.social's Variety Pack section earlier this year

variantlit.com/knowing-and-...

As it experiments with different techniques for presenting trauma and dissonance—including bouts with disordered eating, sexual assault, medical crisis, psychiatric definition, and family dynamics—Ludwick’s language also drifts among the currents of deeper theoretical questions about epistemology and identity. Visceral, confessional detail and hermit crab narrative techniques comprise the engine of this book, which provides readers with an able vehicle for exploring such storied waters.

“Time lets herself in; I pour us tea without sugar. She understands, she says. She leaves. She leaves. Sand drips down her face. It slips from her mouth mostly, when she talks, and from between her eyelashes when she blinks.”
