The Easy Body is a love letter from hell. In these poems, a fiery account of loss combines with a multi-lingual prophecy of stained, stunning beauty. In deep suffering and impure solidarity, the Latinx, matrilineal, colonized body of this text will never be ‘easy.’ Get ready for the birth of a riot and the death of the world.

Lauren Levin:

“The Easy Body is written in letters of fire. The so-called sleep of the just (or “the sleep of white girls”) will be ruined forever for those who learn what Luboviski-Acosta’s poetry knows in its brilliant, brutalized, resurgent bones. It’s beautiful. Also terrifying. And necessary- if you’re holding this book in your hands, don’t let it go.”

manuel arturo abreu:

“In their incendiary debut, Luboviski-Acosta explores a vision of freedom that looks like apocalypse: dismantled states destroyed selves, and dismayed gods all watch in awe as a bony witch consorts with demons and blood-filled succulents to envision the hedonic chaos of our time, not as contemporary, but as immemorial. In a voice oscillating between decolonial rage and postcolonial melancholia, The Easy Body teaches us that if recovery is possible, it’s only destruction against the white forces of linearity that have been trying to decimate island people for 524 years.”
