Flight
A household in flux, a global pandemic, and the mystifying negotiations and permutations of love.
This collection of prose poems explores the linked tensions of flight and longing: the immigrant caught on the other side of the world; the transformation of a home; the reckoning of motherhood.
Often otherworldly, frequently affirming, and sometimes heartbreaking, these poems offer small meditations—circling overhead, descending into daily life.
