Corpus Delicti: A Forensic Liturgy in Four Acts is both archive and incantation — a book that refuses silence in the face of violence. Blending poetry, redaction, testimony, and liturgy, it transforms the courtroom into a stage, a confessional, and an altar of resistance. This is not metaphor — it is evidence. Each page carries the weight of survival, tracing the scars of domestic violence and the systems that protect abusers while erasing the voices of survivors. Through blackout texts, lyrical fragments, and liturgical refrains, Story Ember leGaïe dismantles the myth of the “good man,” exposes the complicity of mediocrity, and reclaims language as weapon, record, and witness. At once searingly personal and defiantly collective, Corpus Delicti is a work of testimony that insists on being seen. It does not sanitize survival or reframe abuse as resilience; instead, it names trauma in its rawness and insists that naming is power. Survivors will recognize themselves in its jagged truths; readers will be confronted with the structures that allow cycles of harm to flourish. This is poetry as indictment. This is evidence as art. This is liturgy reimagined — not for worship, but for liberation. For anyone who has endured abuse, for anyone who has borne witness, and for anyone willing to face the reality of gendered violence and its erasures, Corpus Delicti is a necessary document. It is not only a book to be read, but a record to be entered into the world: part indictment, part elegy, part refusal. The body is the evidence. The testimony is the book. The time is now.
