“Unlocking the Hidden Depths of Pain: Nina Lohman’s Poetic Exploration in ‘The Body Alone'”
Within these narrative twists and turns, Lohman includes blackout poetry-style and dictionary style entries. But don’t confuse the twists and turns with lack of clarity or difficulty to understand. Lohman is very clear and concise. She makes a self-aware, conscious craft choice to have the narrative be circular, repetitive, and interrupting at times to showcase the true nature of pain. By the time this quote appears seven pages in, the reader knows that the narrative is about pain; however, Lohman’s direct reference to the structure clearly paints the narrative structure to be equivalent to pain.
