An intimate collection where the domestic, sexual, and cerebral entangle.
Monika Ostrowska’s provocative, plainspoken debut tracks its speaker’s intensifying sexual fantasies as they become at once more intellectualized and embodied, tracing a desperate need for enlightenment. Squirming is a primal meditation on embracing the erotic, challenging the complexities of womanhood, and bridging the chasm between self-awareness and external perception.
