A collection of poems that confront an emotional reckoning with the complexities of domestic life.
Approximate Body reflects upon the dramas of domestic life with equal parts cynicism, nostalgia, and grief. Richly narrative, fragmented, and featuring a variety of landscapes suburban, tropical, and ancient, these poems affirm an intricate mix of guilt and longing, proclaiming that "if I've loved / anything it has not been / enough."
