Overview
"A hyphen is a bridge; it links together different elements, allowing its bearer to straddle those spaces simultaneously. In identity, the hyphen connects, creating a complex bond where, previously, one would not exist. Hyphenated explores this concept of duality while navigating physical and psychological spaces. In Hyphenated's pieces, the speakers are mothers, daughters, immigrants, children, and more, attempting to define who they are and where they belong. This body of work questions home (the place of one's origin), especially one corrupted in disarray, while also recognizing that "found" home comes with its own set of problems. Despite these challenges, the poems seek joy in community, cherished moments, love, and culture, each still with its own complexities." -- Abstract
