Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit
Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit | Jen Campbell
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit explores disability, storytelling, and the process of mythologising trauma. Jen Campbell writes of Victorian circus and folklore, deep seas and dark forests, discussing her own relationship with hospitals -- both as a disabled person, and as an adult reflecting on childhood while going through IVF. Please, Do Not Touch This Exhibit is Jen Campbell's second collection. Her first book-length collection, The Girl Aquarium (Bloodaxe Books, 2019), was shortlisted for the poetry category of the Books Are My Bag Readers Awards 2019 and was a semifinalist for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2019 (Best Poetry category).

Powerful, self biographical poems about all the operations Campbell underwent as a child and her struggles to become a mother with the help of IVF

I follow Campbell on YouTube and remember her talking about getting access to her medical files. In this collection there‘s several letters between doctors, making me wonder if these are real since they treat her as a curiosity

IriDas They could be. Some doctors have no compassion. 3d
