1. The Motorcycle Betrayal Poems
A fierce, confessional sequence that traces an intense, volatile love affair with a motorcycle-riding lover, using vivid, cinematic language and recurring motifs of engines, travel, and domestic fragments to move between adoration and accusation; the poems blend eroticism, mythic imagery, humor, and wrenching honesty to examine passion, jealousy, betrayal, and the speaker’s attempts to survive and assert identity amid emotional turbulence.
