From medical crisis to cultural geography, from panic attacks to golden shovel poems after Maya Angelou and Grace Nichols, this poetry collection refuses to be understood immediately.
Content warning: suicidal ideation, mental health crises, medical trauma, grief, racism, misogyny, panic attacks, and interpersonal violence.
