Unfurling over the course of July —a blisteringly hot month spent in isolation—and in 75 original poems, I Love You, Call Me Back dares to embrace loneliness in all its permutations: the sorrow of getting your mother's voicemail when you call to say "I love you"; the bittersweetness when your dog takes up your ex's side of the bed; the joy of eating ice cream for dinner and singing badly, loudly. Here, Sabrina attempts to work out who she is when nobody else is around, and she comes out the other side with a whole new sense of strength and self-worth.
I Love You, Call Me Back is an ode to Sabrina's mom, a celebration of life in the face of so many unknowns, and the cathartic, healing balm we all need right now and for years to come. In her words, "Sometimes self-care is just surviving. Sabrina shows us that there's beauty and courage in that, too. In poems that dig deep into sexuality, acceptance of the body, survival of trauma, and learning to love yourself in spite of everything telling you not to, Baird's voice is a rich addition to her generation.
Searing, soaring, and heartbreaking, If My Body Could Speak balances the softness of femininity with the sharpness that girls are forced to become. As she delves into queerness, feminism, fatness, dating, and race, Wiley molds these topics into a punching critique of culture and a celebration of self.
A fat positive activist, Wiley's work soars and challenges the bounds of bodies and hearts, and the ways we carry them.

I borrowed this book from the library because I love her poem First Date. The others I enjoyed as well, but they didn't jump out at me quite the same. The title says it all--this book was pretty depressing. I could relate to some of the poems--particularly the one where she is trying to explain depression to her mom but her mom has no clue. Some of. Uh-oh, it looks like your Internet Explorer is out of date. File Name: depression and other magic tricks.
