In pursuit of an answer, this collection unearths delight, disgust and despair in equal measure. The poems in\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Born to Rot\u003c\/em\u003e shift perspective between a ‘cartoon man’ with a predilection for the surgically enhanced silhouette, and a narrator whose tenuous relationship with her own corporeal form is beginning to unravel.
