Convincing the Body
by Cheryl Boyce-Taylor

Convincing the Body is Taylor’s third book, and it is an experience you do not want to miss. Lush, expressive and always abundantly edifying, Boyce Taylor’s poems are not merely written, but lived. Divided into six chapters, this work unflinchingly addresses love, war, sex and devotion. As always, Boyce Taylor’s dense poems invite multiple readings and leave readers full and satisfied. Convincing the Body does more than delve into the poet’s preoccupations; it’s a document of healing. It will convince your body, and your heart.
