Cusp : feminist writing on bodies, myth & magic / edited by Jane Hartshorn, Katrina Millar, Rosalind Reynolds-Grey & Kirstie Millar.

"Ache asked writers to explore the ways in which illness and pain cause estrangement from one's own body - and Cusp was born. This is a daring collection brimming with feminist stories, essays and poems that are strange and surprising. Bodies grow and transform into new shapes, new beings and new identities. House and hospitals suffocate. A witch fights for suffrage. A doctor behaves cruelly. A patient is forced to commit strange acts. An angel checks her emails. Bodies bruise, bleed, overflow and misbehave. Featuring the absurd, the surreal, body horror and speculative fiction, Cusp articulates the experiences of transformation, shape-shifting, and border-crossing that are inherent in illness. Cusp asks what happens when our bodies become strange to ourselves and our world."--From back cover.
