Synopsis
This collection of poems stems from a daily writing practice, where the author delves into the seemingly ordinary moments of life. Through memory, dreams, and imagination, each detail—from TV shows to nail polish choices—becomes imbued with deeper meaning. The poems explore a sense of dread and anxiety, connecting personal experiences to larger issues of climate change, global racial capitalism, whiteness, and gender-based violence, as the author navigates their own gender identity.
