In Which Witch Body, Melanie McKerchar explores what it is to have a body that inhabits the margins of what we are taught is good. The witch body is a political statement, and the poems in this collection embody the grief, anger, joy and pride of a journey into disability. Fierce and fearless, sexy and savage, lush and loving and long overdue, Which Witch Body is “a climate fuelled bushfire to burn down all the bullshit”. Feminism, disability, colonisation and compassion all colour McKerchar’s second collection in a kaleidoscope of emotions that will leave readers roused and shaken, delivered back into a world that is vitally other than they had known.
