Synopsis

Sift Me Through is a poetry and prose collection exploring grief, longing, healing, and transformation. Written during the pandemic and shaped by experiences with chronic illness and traumatic brain injuries, Signe Damron reflects on vulnerability, resilience, memory, identity, and the quiet process of becoming. Both intimate and atmospheric, this collection examines the beauty and ugliness woven through growth, while inviting readers to move with life's shifting seasons rather than against them. A standalone collection and an extension of French Door to Foyer.
