AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Lyrical and narrative-driven, with playful and fantastical elements woven throughout, the poems in The Infant Vine reflect on how ordinary moments become charged with significance and strangeness when disaster strikes. Such moments make imaginary worlds possible: sleep deprivation transfigures a new mother into a leafy sea dragon; a novel virus gives women the power to reproduce via parthenogenesis like the eponymous bonnethead shark. Themes of transformation, metamorphosis and preservation a of life, of memory and the environment a permeate this collection, which explores caregiving and creativity in the context of global crises.'
