This collection tracks the dreamscape of a postpartum world. It seeks to bring this dreamscape to the waking sphere in a compact space. It is an attempt to physicalize how memory and identity change relative to distance and consciousness.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese sixteen pieces plus the title poem are in conversation with ‘you’ as a conduit for marrying states of being, the sleeping and waking selves. They shift in length, form, restraint and tone mimicking the ebb and flow of a woman’s postpartum body. The language responds to shifts in awareness and ownership. It is an exercise in trying to find balance and rhythm.This collection serves as a trail of sticky notes along the close of a reproductive experience and chapter in life.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmily is a writer and bookmaker living in Detroit.
