Autobiography of a Wound - Poems

Winner of the 2017 Donald Hall Prize for Poetry. In ancient fertility carvings, artists would drill holes into the woman's body to signify penetrability, which is the basis of Autobiography of a Wound: allowing those wounds and puncture marks to speak through the fertility figures.
