[Image description: The cover for “SITTING PRETTY: THE VIEW FROM MY ORDINARY RESILIENT DISABLED BODY” by Rebekah Taussig, repeated 6 times, forming a sort of collage. They are one a slant so we never quite get to see the full image. But each one is the same – a bright orange background with white and black text. A picture of Rebekah sitting in her wheelchair, a yellow shirt, some sparkles, and other details appearing to have been drawn onto her. Her hand stretching out, resting in between the words “FROM MY” and “ORDINARY”. In between each cover are bright yellow lines that match her shirt.]
