Nomenclature

Abstract

On "Nomenclature": "Growing up with a negative image and mindset around her body, Hannah refrained from writing about it. However, after a rollercoaster of self-growth and pushing against her own comfort levels, 'Nomenclature' poured out naturally as Hannah's first body positive poem. She took the idea of a naming system from the names she and other plus size individuals have been called. 'Nomenclature' became a means of seizing the image of 'bounding bigness' and giving it a series new names. Names that would be defined on her terms mirroring the strength she feels her body carries."
