Broken into three segments of flood, fire, and famine, this collection is the author’s exploration of her inherited agonies: the covenant between a girl and her mother, the infection of religion, love and youth as a double-edged sword, the beast of hunger. This collection ricochets between geographies, from cityscape to haunted country to sweltering homeland. Poems shed their skin and don new forms, metamorphosing from page to page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eApocalypse resurfaces throughout this collection, a metaphor for the violence inherent in change. Cities flood. Women starve. Destruction sheaths the world and gives birth to the new: fiery skies breaking into rubies, eyes fracturing into diamonds. Mothers give birth to daughters who give birth to song. A bloodline that extends centuries bleeds its dreams into each page, inescapable—a ghost in every poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eDivyasri Krishnan is the author of \u003cem\u003ePRIMORDIAL KNOWLEDGE\u003c\/em\u003e (Bottlecap Press).
