Description
The prose poems in YOU scour the distance between girlhood and motherhood with wit, fraying into ruminations on all thats inherited as a woman surviving gendered violence.
Rosa Alcal choreographs language to understand the body as it gathers itself over time to become whole, recovering the speakers intuition while unraveling memory to pinpoint the aches, anxieties, and lessons of feminine survival. YOU ruminates on daughterhood, mothering, and the bodys cumulative wisdom.
