Description

In this striking debut collection, Asa Drake navigates the complex intersections of identity, place, and power. Through vivid imagery and a lyrical voice, the poems explore the indelible marks left by economic, ecological, and political dissonance on the body and its lineage. Drake masterfully weaves together personal history and broader societal concerns, reaching from the lush landscapes of the Philippines to the American South. These thirty-eight poems, including a compelling six-part braided sequence, offer a multigenerational conversation about love, labor, and the very nature of belonging.
