The poems use lyrical diction and striking imagery to evoke the weight of an emotional and visceral journey. They grow and build in length and form, reflecting the gains the women in the poems make in re-creating selfhood through endurance and strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In prose, narrative, and confessional-style poems, Alyan reflects on how physical space is refashioned, transmitted, and remembered.
