Transweight: Poems from an Undercover Fat Girl

Once 100 pounds heavier, Sharrell D. Luckett serves up revealing poetic insights about her emotional struggle to adjust to life after her major weight loss. Though she's gained a newly slender body, her inner self seems to have trouble letting go of her status as a morbidly obese person. The poems explore the prejudices and real-world limitations placed upon the severely overweight.

Reviews

“Transweight discloses the complexity of Sharrell’s life experiences. She shares her triumphs and challenges with life, lust, love and loss. This collection is a thought compelling piece and artistic expression worth reading.”

– A. G. Mackey, professor, University of Kansas

“Love it from the beginning to the end. From the first piece in Transweight, I was hooked. Each poem (favorite being Drive Thru ME) took me to a place that was real yet peaceful. Luckett’s experiences in the past are written so perfectly that I felt as if I was her while I was reading. I definitely loved the journey of being an undercover fat girl. Great, great, great read. I recommend this poetry collection to all.”
