In the spirit of Walt Whitman’s “I Sing the Body Electric,” this anthology by poet and performance artist Aimee Herman celebrates the human form in all of its glory and diversity. With short fiction, poetry, and photography by some of the most inspired writers and artists of our time, THE BODY ELECTRIC provides a contemporary examination of the body—its dynamism and frailties, desires and unbounded possibilities—that sings out in praise of human physicality just as Whitman’s original poem did over 150 years ago.
