Caught in the currents of a world that seeks to define, this chapbook aims to examine what it means to inhabit an inherited body and rise above the tide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoems from \u003cem\u003eWaveborne\u003c\/em\u003e interweave scenes tonally influenced by setting: a blazing hot poolside, a darkened, frigid bedroom, the sequestered space inside a car. Questions of intimacy, faith, and selfhood arise throughout the collection, disentangling a story long held within its own jaws and releasing it into the air like a song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAyesha Asad is from Dallas, Texas.
