Review
"This...is the equation that runs throughout Patient. The weight of history is a punitive force." - Southern Humanities Review

"Patient is not just the sad past. Judd's ire is not simply historical, how would that be possible. These poems hum and pulse like the air around a transformer during a heat wave.
These haunting poems are brave and bloody and bound to guilty truths that Judd artfully turn to balm. Patientis a book you can love, admire, extol." - Michael Dennis

From the Back Cover
In Patient. Bettina Judd beautifully (and horrifically) draws on historical evidence of nineteenth-century medical experimentation on black women, scholarly explorations of the body and the archive, and personal medical history. The result is haunting in its insistence on laying bare these stories as they not only articulate experiences of the past but also resonate deeply with black women's experiences with the U.S. medical complex in the present. Patient. is a brilliant meditation on race, gender, and science and a thrilling anthem to black women's self-knowledge. --Elsa Barkley Brown, Associate Professor of History and Women's Studies, University of Maryland, College Park

J. Marion Sims, the legendary, now controversial, 19th century gynecologist looms large in Bettina Judd's recent collection Patient. Sophisticated, complex, haunting, Patient. beckons readers to remember, to feel, to think deeply, to discover, to probe. Slavery's stench, the bodies of Black women, death, scientific racism, memory--these themes link the poems in extraordinary ways. Judd is a masterful new poet. Patient. is unforgettable!!--Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Founding Director and Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women's Studies, Spelman College

Joice Heth. Lucy Zimmerman. Betsey Harris. Anarcha Wescott. Bettina Judd ensures you will remember the names of four women assaulted by science, violated by curiosity--survivors of physical invasion and torturous experiments. She presents their dignity, heretofore denied, as imagined in their own voices in conversation and parallel with a modern speaker, similarly (coldly) ensnared by a medical machine powered by detachment at best, cruelty at worst. Judd re-centers the narrative, however, to where it belongs--on the person(s) confronted, examined, in pain--not on the problem to be studied or solved. In visceral language that indicts, worships, haunts, and empowers, Patient. illuminates "a dynasty, a bloodline, a body" imbued with the full human spectrum of emotion and brilliance.--Khadijah Queen, author of Conduit and Black Peculiar

Bettina Judd's stunning poetry invites us to imagine the experiences of enslaved women subjected to gynecological experiments--the blood, pain, loss, shame, and survival. Linking past and present, Patient. brilliantly condemns the inhumanity of professionals who infringe black women's bodies and celebrates the humanity of those who resist them. It will disturb and move your spirit.--Dorothy Roberts, Author, Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty

Bettina Judd's phenomenal debut poetry collection, Patient., is about recovery in many senses: recovery of the subjectivity of several historical figures, through the recovery, reconstitution, and telling of their stories--among them Anarcha Wescott, Betsey Harris, Lucy Zimmerman, Joice Heth, Saartjie Baartman, and Henrietta Lacks, who were infamously "patients" or subjects of inspection and "plunder" by, among others, J. Marion Sims, the controversial gynecologist, and P.T. Barnum, showman and circus founder. Sims (and the speculum) and Barnum are the featured antagonists in many of these flawlessly empathetic poems, but an unnamed speaker who adds a contemporary voice to the lyric chorus implicates those in charge of her care during a present-day hospital stay at a teaching hospital--suggesting the linkage of modern medical treatment to the traumas vulnerable Black women, enslaved and not, suffered at the hands of unethical scientists and physicians in earlier eras. In the collection's opening poem, the speaker reckons, "...verdicts come in a bloodline" and she determines "to recover" from "an ordeal with medicine" by "learn[ing] why ghosts come to me." She ends her testimony by asking, "Why am I patient?" (Read that line in however many nuanced ways you want.) In this profoundly layered witnessing, the subject might be "in the dark ghetto of my body," or "an idea of metaphors that live where bodies cannot." Yet even as Judd vividly evokes the precise brutalities visited upon the Black female body and psyche--letting us see and hear women who "quieted/ broke into many pieces"--these poems also speak of "shedding something, " "another kind of sloughing." Ultimately, Patient. enacts a healing and move toward wholeness, recovery of, as one speaker puts it, "spirit [that] flees the body and/ its treacherous/ tearing." --Sharan Strange, author of Ash, and creative writing faculty at Spelman College
