Young Fruit Öffentlichkeit

Abstract

Young Fruit is a collection of poems, following a speaker as she places herself in her surroundings. Using free verse, persona, and ekphrasis, the poems explore implications of femininity, motherhood, and landscape. The book looks outward to display an interior. Incorporating the social backdrop of the opioid epidemic, the collection questions who and what it takes to build an identity.
