Description: The sisters in this collection live and breathe as one. We witness the devastating impact of loss on this unit while also following the isolate self's ongoing navigation of an ever-changing world. -- Provided by publisher.

These harrowing poems focus on how human connection can both transcend devastation as well as complicate our individual sense of existence. We witness the devastating impact of loss on a group of sisters, while also following the isolate self's ongoing navigation of an ever-changing world. Through it all, the sisters in Imaginary Royalty live and breathe as one: "None of us is her own grown self now. Re-conjoined, four sisters. The magnetic pull is awful, gravity unbearable, and, oh our bodies are staved. It is the center we seize around, the sister in whom the hole has opened. The cold blows through us all."
