"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 and experience pain, ultimately revealing how we must all face our shame in order to grow. No voice is blameless; no person is exempt. Divided into four sections, the collection reads as a life cycle of emotional metamorphosis: girlhood and sexuality, trauma, relationships and grief"--Front flap.
