1. The Glass Essay
A spare, essayistic long poem in which a narrator recuperates on her mother’s rural property after a shattering breakup, weaving personal memory, family history, and close readings of other writers into an elegiac investigation of desire, loss, and bodily pain; stark images of mirrors, glass, and empty landscapes frame a voice that moves between lyric intensity and critical detachment as it probes how love, grief, and language reshape identity and the possibility of repair.
