I read Body's A Bad Monster by Rowan Perez

And I started annotating books this year in a journal. This is how it turned out:)

I genuinely feel like I wanted to write every single line in this book. They are a phenomenal writer and a brilliant story teller, and I think (from never having a conversation with them apart from their poems and prose) a wonderful person, who deserves all the warmth the world has to offer.

I took a page out of their book (aha) and blacked out the things I wrote that were Wildly personal for the internet. Over six months later and I simultaneously have talked about this book for two hours straight yet still don't have the words. @inkskinned you are the ship and the lighthouse and the tremulous sea and the navigator with a cool spyglass looking for the break in the horizon. Or whatever. :)

Y’all should buy a ticket for the emotional rollercoaster that is “Body’s a Bad Monster” by @inkskinned! Emotions I didn’t know I still had are sore. Feels like there are maggots eating away at the decaying flesh in a wound I didn’t even know I had. 10/10. Owie. 🥲👍

look what’s arrived today.

for years i enjoyed, rage and cry alongside with you reading your tumblr posts @inkskinned, and somehow i got your book just today. is it too late? but it doesn’t matter, better late than never, right? at first flip over, the book looks gorgeous and interesting. very promising.

oh and i do hope you’re okay now, too, in some regards, at least. although recent posts or yours got me worried a bit. i wish you a peace and happiness. please say hello to your plants for me. 🌿

i have no idea what this book is about. i’ll find out soon. i always have been very much enchanted with your writings. i am excited for wherever this book would take me.

one catastrophic night walk into

maquillage of traffic jams & pity of parent not served

with ketchup sachets —

your smile

of a loneliness which makes itself fester along leftovers

door slamming as usual

let things lie dormant as thoughts in urns

you prim up for work

tomorrow

apace with your skullroom staring at snow

softening to an invincibility of hermitic jade

Bodys a bad monster honestly reached into my chest and yanked on my soul and I'll be feeling it for a long long time. I know @inkskinned has probably most definitely heard this a hundred times by now, but gods this book made me ugly sob on the bus and when the old woman next to me asked me if I was alright all I could do was suggest she read the book, because it has carved itself on to my bloody bones. All I can say is thank you for sharing this with us @inkskinned .

Reality

I do not know now who you were 

A dream, a being I created 

So much of you I saw in me,

Reflecting light within my darkness

A glimpse of light that would peek through, 

But I would draw the curtains tight,

To keep reality at bay, 

I would succumb to all you’d say
