How to trace your daughtering: A collection of poems with a critical introduction

<i>How to Trace Your Daughtering</i> is a collection of poetry that chronicles grief and longing through forests, down highways, and across state lines, as the speaker remembers and re-constructs their own origin. Broken into three sections of varying lengths, the poems weave together myth and history, family and loneliness, through free-verse, prose poems, and a golden shovel. The poems also look to other voices to create an intertextual representation of self, quoting and referencing figures such as Anne Carson, Sylvia Plath, Megan Thee Stallion, Persephone, and others.
