Disease Is a Mirror: A Lyric Memoir

by Emily Greenquist

Overview

Interweaving imagery and prose, Disease Is a Mirror is a lyric memoir exploring illness, identity, intimacy, and the evolving self. Greenquist initially chronicles, and then artfully abstracts, her story, opening "the mirrored door" to the elusive realities of a life-changing diagnosis. Her narrative shows us that a diagnosis is not merely a clinical timeline; it is snails and rabbits, code and lab coats, love and clumsiness. Like an exquisite corpse, Disease Is a Mirror invites readers to explore its intricate and unconventional intersections, each reflection carefully curated; each void, a devastating erasure.
