SQUIRMING- An intimate collection where the domestic, sexual, and cerebral entangle.
Monika Ostrowska’s provocative, plainspoken debut tracks its speaker’s intensifying sexual fantasies as they become at once more intellectualized and embodied, tracing a desperate need for enlightenment. Squirming is a primal meditation on embracing the erotic, challenging the complexities of womanhood, and bridging the chasm between self-awareness and external perception.
Monika Ostrowska is a writer and founder of Triangle House whose work has appeared in Joyland, New York Times Magazine, Guernica, Peach Mag, Newest York, and other publications. Born in Poland, she now lives in Greenpoint, NY with her son. Squirming is her first book.
