"On Mistaking Hunger for Desire" is a collection of poems exploring the intersection of need and longing. Jumping across time and generations, the poems reveal landscapes of desire, moments of fulfillment and loss, and chart their aftermath. What occupies the space hunger leaves behind? How does desire transform when it reaches its threshold? Touching on inherited trauma, body image, identity and survival, and the art and accident of growing into oneself, these poems offer a visceral montage of becoming.
