In this powerful collection of poems, we are able to see someone who suffers from body dysmorphia the way that they see themselves. It is sometimes difficult to understand how someone's biggest struggle can be within their own mind. Often, we ask, "Why can't you just change the way you think?" In answering this question, we listen to Blind a poem that looks at how lucky the blind man is to not have to see. It dives into how the voices in their head that makes them see things in themselves that aren't there are formed. As told through the chapters of the book the blind man is reading. Then we address one of the most difficult words in Pretty. A poem where the poet tells us how it became so important to them to hear someone say this word but also how it then turned into the biggest "bad word" of their vocabulary. And finally, in Body View: Or What is Dysmorphia, we hear what comes out of the other side of this struggle.

Giving us example after example of what dysmorphia looks like to those of us who do not struggle with it. All ending with the realization that their mind doesn't have a hold on them anymore and advise for pushing through.
