As an author and teacher, she uses this creative insight to transform her wounds into a source of emotional growth and restoration. By turns candid and lyrical, stoic and forgiving, blunt and evocative, Reading the Waves reframes memory to show how crucial this process can be to gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/0279ac50-92d5-44be-87ef-53d331a8444e/TheBigMLY.png Lidia Yuknavitch - the big m - 13 writers take back the story of menopause Edited by Lidia Yuknavitch, with a forward by Dr. Jen Gunter, out January 27th, 2026. Includes work from a diverse group of influential writers, including: Roxane Gay, Cheryl Strayed, Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, Reyna Grande, Joey Soloway, Nana-Ama Danquah, Gina Frangello, Monica Drake, Lan Samantha Chang, Julia Alvarez, Darcey Steinke, and Pam Houston. This is narrative medicine at its finest: Lidia Yuknavitch and 12 of today’s sharpest, most daring writers break the silence. They are here to reclaim the story of menopause—for all of us and those on the way, because we are not the story they made of us. This is a new story, told on our own terms—a long overdue reckoning. Exploring themes of freedom and mortality, sexuality and the patriarchy, The Big M is a chorus of voices, each writer navigating the profound changes in their bodies and lives in their own fiercely individual way. Funny, subversive, insightful, and deeply human, these stories form a living constellation—one you might take into your life in times of duress, transformation, or awakening.

Joy, sorrow, rage, fear, guilt, lust, adoration — it’s all there in equal parts. The book empowers us to consider: When we look back at our pasts, how comfortable are we with seeing who we really were and embracing that version of ourself, however flawed? Perhaps more importantly, how do we shed the parts of us we no longer find useful to become something new? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/1492449419601-IGDVFTFRSI89ORG40T3N/image-asset.png Reviews By Amy Wang, 4/15/17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/976d6d56-04df-4256-8131-121eb0a274e8/kirkus.jpg Reviews - it is possible to “imagine a map” that loosens the grip of sorrow Full of the messy, moving, in-your-face inspiration and storytelling for which Yuknavitch is beloved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/1681445600733-0KJO5DWHIZUKV6W48ZRT/winter-trees.jpg Reviews https://lidiayuknavitch.net/new-page daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/a7f9188b-14e1-406b-84a8-e736bd97a76f/White+logo.png Corporeal Writing Reinventing the Writing Workshop, one body at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57982c988419c2d9fca4625b/b9c0a867-0f78-4bee-8450-811222f13927/Allofusfor_merch.png Corporeal Writing - I understand experience as art.
