Overview
"Daddy's Little Girl is a collection of poems that moves through the speaker's grief—for their father, for the time before the speaker's own conception, and for the premature end of childhood. Grappling with identity as a pre-determined condition, these poems center cultural scripts and ideologies, assigned gender, socioeconomic status, and familial legacy, reaching beyond the fixed nature of the speaker's geographic locality and toward the immobility of girlhood in a fatherless, patriarchal world. The collection concludes considering the body's agency in migration beyond life, problematizing institutions that gatekeep one's access to grieve through memorial." -- Abstract
