Description
In an intimate, courageous, and transformative
collection, 26 girls and women of all ages
share poems and stories exploring the ups and
downs of menstruation, from first period to
post- menopause.The award-winning anthology
awfully hilarious series returns with its second
installment, period pieces, featuring that most
ubiquitous quottimof the month.quotThese short
pieces of prose and poetry illuminate our
collective fascination, trepidation and shame
around the biology of periods from
pre-pubescence and monthly cycles, to
perimenopause, hot flashes, and menopause.Told
in cycles, awfully hilarious period pieces
explores menstruation through feminine (but not
always female) archetypal milestones of the
maiden, mother, and crone-and the many identities
we embody in between.In the Spring sections, the
collection focuses on stories of first periods
and youth on the cusp, as well as the follicular
phase between flow and ovulation. Summer revels
in ovulation, fertility (as well as birth
control), and pregnancy. Fall represents
menstruation's luteal phase, when many experience
greater pain and distress, and finally, Winter
takes readers to the very edge and end, with
perimenopause and menopause.Regardless of gender
expression or experience, period pieces is for
everyone fervently and courageously sharing a
human experience often forced to secrecy
and solitude. In this stunning collection,
readers can join the chorus We've been there.
