A candid exploration of mental illness and womanhood reminds the reader of works by Shira Erlichman. Richard Siken’s marriage of the holy and the mundane is paired with Annie Dillard’s powerful metaphor. Coming of age and the human psyche are explored within chosen moments, intense and vivid. The work is an immersive experience that engages the senses, uncovers wounds—and offers a shining sliver of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA young woman’s confessional narrative takes its shape in old minivans, hospital waiting rooms, and childhood bedrooms. In the midst of isolation, a thread of longing is woven into moments, sifted through like photographs. The poet longs for the friend, embodied in an imagined somewhere, a dream of home. Ultimately, paper airplanes crafted from children’s coloring sheets reflect a belief in the ability to fly beyond hospital walls into a future of belonging and togetherness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaya Collins is a published author, professional artist, and member of the Girls Write Now Collaboratory.
