Cusp: feminist stories, essays and poetry exploring bodies, myth and magic. 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 essays, stories and poems that are strange and surprising. Bodies grow and transform into new shapes, new beings and new identities. Houses 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 the world. Including writing from Sharlene Teo, Memoona Zahid, Emma Glass, Elizabeth Kim, Kirstie Millar, Rochelle Roberts, Rose Higham-Stainton, Sarah Fletcher, Rebecca Tamás, Alice Tarbuck, Ellie Slee, Rosalind Reynolds-Grey, Amanda Holiday, Jane Hartshorn and Camilla Grudova.
