More About This Title Borrowed Wave

English

In three sections linked by the metaphor of water and the wave, these poems explore how places of the past are mapped spatially in our minds, how experience creates an emotive imprint on the self, and how awakening to desire embarks us on a journey of bewilderment. These haunting, luminous poems consider the spirit’s place in the body of childhood and the queer experience and call on the traditions of lyric experiment in American poetry stretching back to Emily Dickinson.
