A sharp, candid debut poetry collection confronting the raw realities of appetite, psychiatric recovery, queer desire, and emotional hunger.
In over under fed, Amy Marguerite documents the physical and psychological terrain of living between extremes. From hospital wards and clinic discharge notes to situationships, limerence, and the messy hum of modern intimacy, these poems examine what happens when the body demands to be felt. Marguerite records moments of quiet obsession and dark wit, charting the disorienting passage from illness to unsteady health.
With acute vulnerability and striking visual precision, the poems probe the weight of domestic rituals, prescriptions, and unspoken devotion. The result is an unflinching look at love, self-preservation, and the persistent desire to find loveliness on the other side of despair.
