About the Book

Catastrophic Molting asks readers to imagine: “what if we were a part of a whole / that loved us without ceasing?” The collection suggests that “stepping off might actually be, stepping in / turning away might actually be, turning toward." Refusing to normalize violence, the poet gathers war inside her own body to detonate it, then blows “tsunami-wind / to rattle clear the desks.” With the verve of Oya, the goddess of ancestral and radical change, the book claims ground for empathy and inter-being.
