" inVISIBLE makes me feel what it is to live in a body that betrays, exposing what it's like to have a body that fights and misrepresents the self. Laura McPherson shares her experience of illness in terms of myths, environmental science, medical bureaucracy, gender complexity, and the quotidian bits of modern Western life—all with wit and an electric imagination." -Shannon O'Malley, Creative Writer, Director, and Strategist and co-creator of Gay Men Draw Vaginas This is a tale of creation steeped in confronting what is good and what is not good, but more importantly, who gets to make such declarations. At once reminiscent of Ginsburg and Lorde, McPherson dives into the wreck that is toxic capitalism with an eye toward hope, expansion, and triumph; her urgency is intoxicating. inVISIBLE ’s harmonic language creates the space needed to engage finally with the often ignored yet poetic world of chronic illness—an illness of the body and of the culture. - Candice M. Kelsey, author of A Poet
