Body of Memory
Winner of the 2026 Atlanta Review Chapbook Competition!
In Body of Memory, the dead refuse to stay buried. They inhabit the body, haunt familiar landscapes, and surface in unexpected places. A sister becomes a swarm of bees. Shadows separate from bodies. The boundaries between memory and imagination, the living and the dead, begin to dissolve.
Moving between the intimate and the surreal, Kaecey McCormick gives physical form to the strange persistence of loss. Winner of the 2026 Atlanta Review Chapbook Competition, Body of Memory explores what it means to carry the dead while continuing to live.
