by Marion Deutsche Cohenis a collction ofpoems focusing on everyday micro-aggressions many womenface throughout their lives,from pre-adolescence to adulthood.Wonderful inthe way it details the author's early experiences using images from childhoodand dreams,transitioning into becoming a married woman and a mother,anddepicting her strength and bravery as a woman,this collection sheds light onmany realities of women in this world and their stories which are necessaryand important to share.  \nAn early review by Beth O'Brien of Mad Hatter Revieus states,\"Throughoutthe collection,the description of unwanted male attention and the ability topolitely say no without damaging a man's ego are demonstrated with greataccuracy.Moreover,Cohen highlights the sexual expectations women oftenfeel compelled to conform to,both in and out of relationships...  \nUltimately,this collection is a hard-hitting read but overwhelminglynecessary.Cohen states at the end of the collection,I have never been rapedor assaulted but there were things I didn't want to do³.Through her poetryCohen validates the feelings and concerns of her younger self who is surelynot alone in these experiences.\"  \nBy validating what she herself experienced from such a young age,Cohen alsovalidates the experiences of all women who have ever felt uncomfortable inthe presence of a man or under expectation from society.We live in a worldwhere culture defines much of the way we act,and this is a subject that Cohenhones on with resilience,unafraid to look at these issues in the face and speakfor all those who are still remaining silent.This book highlights all the waysthe author is able to eagerly echo the battle cry that so many woman andassault survivors have taken up with,\"Me Too!\"and gives reason for thereader tojourney with her as she travels back,examining everything from herdreams to her sexual habits which are shaped by growing up in a society thathas unrealistic and often absurd expectations of what it means to be a woman.  \n～Tianna G.HansenEditor-in-ChiefRhythm Bones Press  \n3  \n# Advanced Praise for Discontinuity at the Waistline\n\n“...this collection is extremely relevant and unfortunately relatable.Of course,it deals with hard-hitting topics,which naturally leave the reader feelinguncomfortable.But from beginning to end,Cohen demonstrates the ability tomove between wonderful imagery and cutting clarity in a way that reallymakes the reader sit up and pay attention....Cohen's collection is powerfuland empowering.By putting these experiences into words,she allows othergirls and women to see they are not the only ones who have felt this way,andultimately that they should not have to feel this way.”  \n～Beth O'Brien,Mad Hatter Reviews  \n# Praise for Cohen's
