Overview
"This collection of lyric poems explores the tensions inherent in the mode of being: the manyness of the self, the patterns of grief that break way to joy and grief again. The poems here are concerned with the cyclicality of the living, the way we mark the hours with tender and worried hearts, considering themes such as motherhood and non-motherhood, as well as ancestry and the memories we are not witness to, yet somehow still yearn or burn for. This manuscript is preoccupied by such tensions and what can rise there, illustrated across varying free forms, at times constrained or ruptured by line, space, and margin. Within this various space, the liminal, is where I find myself—suspended in the perplexing state of being human. The lines that follow are a celebration not only of living, but of the grief that endures it." -- Abstract
