(&NOW Books/Lake Forest College Press) This hybrid book combines prose and poetry to create a work that interrogates the nuanced concepts of deformity/normality, ability/disability, and voyeurism/exhibition – all with self-representational humor. Stories-within-stories, text deconstructions, and images make this novel-as-poem-as-essay-as-art exceed all expected boundaries. Henderson received the Madeleine P. Plonsker Prize for this work and was recently awarded a Mellon postdoctoral fellowship from MIT.
