...but i work here
"Visually stunning, formally innovative, and unlike anything I've ever read before."

--Audrey T. Carroll, author of In My Next Queer Life, I Want to Be

"In ...but i work here, Weiss renders sickness as a dense palimpsest of meaning and feeling. The reader is brought into a kitsch excess of chronic illness, bodily transformation, and cancer prevention from within the medical-industrial complex. Signposts of care are reminders of the uncanny; the reader is inside and outside of time; and medical documentation intertwines with incantations. All in all, this chapbook is triumphant refusal of the slick illness narrative."
