MY DEBUT CHAPBOOK
MY DEBUT CHAPBOOK
Prose, poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Why I Bite is a visceral, fragmented exploration of girlhood, illness, and rage. Written in experimental prose, Cathrina Jakeman’s debut chapbook gnaws at the liminal space between the body and memory, the personal and the performative. Moving through medical language, surreal metaphor, and dreamlike vignettes, these pieces examine what it means to live in a body that hurts, and remembers. Whether charting inherited trauma through the lens of a shark’s open mouth or dissecting femininity as something both aesthetic and grotesque, Jakeman refuses to make herself digestible.
