In The Cancer Journals, Audre Lorde reminds us that the body is a barometer, registering the earth's wounds on a cellular level. The permeable body may be particularly susceptible to toxins, but it is also remarkably receptive to the healing possibilities of interconnectedness. Well, a testament to the experience of living in a female body objectified by the cancer industry, is a hybrid text that seeks to reopen the body, not to further harm, but to transformational healing. Exploring the work of other women writing through their own, or their loved one's, cancer diagnosis, the book is particularly influenced by Audre Lorde, Susan Sontag, Rachel Carson, Terry Tempest Williams, Fanny Burney, Alice James, and Kathy Acker. Committed to connectivity, the journal, the diary, the letter and the poem emerge as forms through which the body can both speak its wounds and commit itself to the care of other vulnerable bodies. What People Are SayingWell sounds the depths of what it means to be a subject with breast cancer subjected to the violence Western medicine calls care. Like the harm tucked inside of charm, this book bears witness to Steensen's own injury as a way to endure treatments at once wound and cure. It also gathers the words of other women who've written through the experience of breast cancer, offering something like a poultice to draw out poison in order to soothe and repair. Insisting on agency even while dwelling in "the margin where ill and well meet," this vital and necessary book asks the questions we find only "at the extremity of this life." That's the point: to survive to offer others the hardest questions, the ones that love for our mothers, sisters, and daughters requires us to ask. -Brian Teare, author of Poem Bitten by a ManNear the end of her extraordinary new book, Well, Sasha Steensen says, "I write to you to expel the barrier between." Between the presumed-to-be-healthy and the body that is not well. Between the body that is not well and whatever comes next. Between what has been written about the body and what can never be written. Between what must be said about the body and what ought never be said. Between the poet's mind and the minds of other women writers whose own lives have hung in these margins. Between the poet's body and my own. Between happiness and hope. In a series of poems at once contrarian and comforting, Steensen lays bare her own mind and body. In her revelations, she enters a communion with women whose lives, whether we know it or not, are as vulnerable and resilient as her own. Steensen's Well is a masterful collection of philosophy, politics, passion, and poetry. -Camille T.

JAEPL Volume 28 - 2023 THE JOURNAL OF THE ASSEMBLY FOR EXPANDED PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING, JAEPL, provides a forum to encourage research, theory, and classroom practices involving expanded concepts of language. It contributes to a sense of community in which scholars and educators from preschool through the university exchange points of view and cutting-edge approaches to teaching and learning. JAEPL is especially interested in helping those teachers who experiment with new strategies for learning to share their practices and confirm their validity through publication in professional journals.
