Notes I Found in One of My Old Diaries, and: Epithalamion for a Mother Seen in a Father's Smile, and; Naming

Abstract: These poems explore the notion of chaos existing inside the body and what it means to tie a cultural identity to it. I questioned and navigated this notion through memories (including fragmented and precarious ones), experiences, trauma, borders, longing, abandonment, and tears. And how they become diffused and span many bodies to show the need for an inquiry into the known and unknown and as something I need to give an outline so as not to forget.
