Elenia Graf's Conscious Tongues is a visceral, formally inventive collection that undertakes an autopsic exploration of hunger and the body parts it inhabits. Moving from feet to scalp, these poems dissect dykehood, trauma, and the ouroboros of emptiness and consumption with scalpel-sharp intimacy. Graf charts a queer neurodivergent poetics of survival and desire, refusing linear healing or palatable catharsis. Instead, the collection dwells in contradiction-lush, unflinching, and fiercely intelligent.
