Sanni Purhonen’s poems deal with embodiment, feminism, disability rights, and taking on the social constructions of normalcy. If Only I’d Turn into Someone Else doesn’t offer stylized and easy outlets for the effects of ableism. There’s no post-humanist fix coming. Science has no idea how to save us. Purhonen gives us dark pictures on the water. They are true as Odysseus’s arrows.
