A collection of poems about illness, deafness, divorce, the pandemic, and resilience.
from Hibernation: "I've been mending clothes lately. // File under the category / of things I can control, enjoy, / be in my body while doing."
from The Furniture Anniversary: "Supposedly, this is the furniture anniversary. // Does that mean / I am the furniture, or that we are / bannister, skeleton, stair rail / that allows for something to be / walked through us, onto us, in us / for the next however many years?"
from Sounds Bounce: "around the stratosphere / of my mind. // No, brain—one sixth of it space / uncharted, // unknown. // An astronaut in my own galaxy, // ground control / unnecessary."
