Tender Points is a narrative fractured by trauma. Named after the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia, the book-length lyric essay explores sexual violence, chronic pain, and patriarchy through lived experience and pop culture. First published in 2015, this new edition includes an afterword by the author.
Amy Berkowitz is a poet who mostly writes prose.

She’s the author of two chapbooks: Lonely Toast (what to us press, 2010) and Listen to Her Heart (Spooky Girlfriend, 2012). Her work has also appeared in Dusie, Textsound, VIDA, and Where Eagles Dare, among other places. She was a 2014 writer in residence at Alley Cat Bookstore & Gallery. Tender Points is her first book.
