The Frog Poem Project

The Frog Poem Project is a book-length poem structured like a textbook. It follows an arc from trauma to healing. Informed by creative research into frog dissection manuals, antique medical handbooks, and surgical gynecological texts, it explores the unexpected beauty embedded in clinical terminology around the body. With illustrations by Alice Lam and anecdotes from Nora Barrera, Noel Kalenian, Bryan Mealer, Rachel Mercer, Paul Eveloff, and Miranda Weiss, this poetic inquiry was also influenced by visits to a human cadaver anatomy lab, and to frog festivals in Rayne, Louisiana, and Calaveras County, California.
