Synopsis

Why do some words, some sentences seem impossible to speak aloud? Trapped inside us, unsaid, how is it possible they have such impact on our lives anyway—on our relationships? On our ability to share intimacy and vulnerability with others? Do our unsaid sentences sentence us—to death, to hard time—unless we run? And caught in a race against time, against death, and inevitable endings, could it still be possible, enroute, to create a little space, enough openness, for a bit of love? Folding the essay's form with everyday accumulations—communications with women writers, absent and present, break-up emails, AirBnB reviews, and text-message threads—Freak Lip does more than document, it swells impossible words that ever-press into the point, edging up and down the blade, resisting the urge to burst, but just barely, it lets the blood we want to talk about and the sex we want to have—body forth.
