Blood to Purify the World

By Amy Bobeda

"raise your hand if you menstruate, raise your hand if you ever menstruated, raise your hand if you came from the body of a menstruator, raise your hand and dance..."

With this invitation, Amy Bobeda's A Blood to Purify the World invites all, and especially those who menstruate, to slide off the proverbial red shoes of folklore and abandon the idea of menstruation as a tiresome experience of exhaustion, pain and discomfort. A Blood to Purify the World invites readers to an enchanted world in which menstruation is more than a cycle of days, this many spent waiting, that many spent moody and cranky, this many spent bleeding, bloated, sore, split within with questions: Am I holy? Am I dirty? Am I fertile? Am I defiled?
