Thanks so much, @riverteeth! It became the title essay of my 2023 collection, which won the Juniper Prize from @umasspress.
We love revisiting older issues of River Teeth to find gems like @SLWisenberg’s “The Wandering Womb” from RT 8.2, which you can find in print or on Project Muse!

ALT Sepia-colored photo of a Victorian woman drinking tea. Pasted over her face and below her elbow are torn sheets of paper with text that read, “The womb, said Plato, is a wild animal. The womb, according to medical writer Aretaeus the Cappadocian two centuries later, is ‘like some animal inside an animal.’” The quote is from S. L. Wisenberg’s essay, “The Wandering Womb” in RT 8.2.

Grateful for @GlenRetief's great review in @riverteeth of Tom Gannon's gorgeous new #Machete memoir 'Birding While Indian': a "tender, thoughtful book, full of vulnerability and joy," that still expresses "anger at a racist, eco-destructive status quo."

If you haven't read this debut by @bsuenglish & @iowa_nwpgrad @BrittanyMeansIt, well, are you in for a skull- & heart-opening treat. I haven't read a memoir this good for a long time--and I read a lot of memoirs.
This month's Indiana book review comes from Jill Christman, a professor in the Ball State Creative Writing Program, where she taught the author of the book, Brittany Means. Read more about "Hell If We Don't Change Our Ways" (@ZibbyBooks) below. 📖
