Everything I love is on the table

Everything I Love Is on the Table is a collection of poetry that centers on migration, history, abuse, and mental illness. The collection investigates the intersections of family, romantic love, and diasporic identity via domestic scenes meant to serve as a window into trauma. Ultimately, it is my attempt at remembering, archiving, and coming to terms with memories of suffering, which have been fragmented and distorted over the years, so that I may understand in a more profound manner the ways in which trauma has influenced how I relate to the ones I love.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical reference
