A Fate Worse Than Death
Nisha Patel
In this stunning poetic investigation of the worthiness of disabled life, Patel evaluates her own medical records that document her treatment-resistant diabetes, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and complex chronic pain, and repurposes clinical texts to create through poetry a way to resist the sway of medical hegemony and to offer complex accounts of pain, sickness, and anger, but also of love.
