The Last Unkillable Thing

The Last Unkillable Thing

This collection serves as a mirror to the self, reflecting themes of elegy and ecology, as seen in lines like "how much of enjoying a place / is destroying it?" It explores both domestic and natural worlds, capturing moments such as "when the redbird strikes the window, it is me / who takes blame." The work portrays a daughter's fragmented experience, yet retains humor: "I can feel it coming on, my season of lavish suffering, the why me why me why me why me / that leaves me snowblind in the asking." Through concisely crafted and unfolding sequences, The Last Unkillable Thing navigates landscapes of mourning with tenderness.
