The Hominine Egg

Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. From the opening poem, where everyday scenes clothe a cast of characters in weather, tears, and prayer, to "animal between," where the narrator conjures her desires into the courage to explore her sexuality, to the ontological vignettes of a woman living in Northern Japan under the constant presence of fog, to the etymological, political eruptions of language in the book's final section, THE HOMININE EGG suggests that vigilance of observation is a spiritual practice out of which one hatches again and again.
