This Is a Map of Their Watching Me

by Kristin Sanders

Finalist in the 2015 BOAAT Chapbook Competition, selected by Zachary Schomburg.

“In This is a map of their watching me, Kristin Sanders creates a verbal diagram of ways the female body is admired and ignored, worshipped and taken. Sanders’ voice is hypnotizing and bold as the body rearranges itself—gravitating toward, turning away, letting you in, ‘open like an entrance dark.’”
