Description: "Her poems explore the eternal themes of the human condition -nature, origin, shame, identity, desire, mortality- with sensitivity and specificity. They illuminate and interrogate the ways that her characters inflict experience pain, ultimately revealing how we must all face our shame in order to grow. No person is blameless; no person is exempt. Divided into four sections, the collection reads as a life of cycle of emotional metamorphosis: girlhood and sexuality, trauma, relationships and grief" --Inside cover.
