Part I sees the speaker witness sexual violence against women from a young age, and constitutes an extended falling:When I fell, the trees and houses were geometric shapes and I didnt hit the ground, I tore through it. (from 'When I walked out')Part II explores with the utmost nuance and subtlety the relationship between sexual consent and emotional abuse. Yet this collection is ultimately uplifting, a reclamation and catharsis, a triumph of familial love:She says, without turning, Youre the women who survived. Her hair is caught, not by the wind, but by the fireflies. They puppeteer and pull at it, like stars to the stark grey moon. Before we forward march, she stands: I think Ill be leaving soon. Thank the ones who believe your words and love you back to life. Listen to the blackbirds. Build a house for the blackbirds wife. Our tears flow into the lake, growing underwater forests. Tomorrow, itll be sunny, she says. And that, I can promise.
