Cicatrizing the Daughters is a collection of liminal spaces, moving from New York City apartments and streets to the houses and backroads of suburbs. Weaving together gastronomy, fantasy, and ecology, these poems tell the stories of queerness and love as it shifts between landscapes and haunted spaces. The speaker(s) are working in restaurants and kitchens, trying to (re)claim their identities and stories, and maybe saving themselves in the process.
