In this visceral debut collection, Isabella Preisz recreates moments of adolescence, sexual exploration, shame, and disassociation through poems fragmented as a memory. She explores what it means to occupy a body, with the blend of past, present, and future remembrance maturing into a hard-won grace. Catching language on the boundary of formation, she exposes the process of healing as fluid as egg yolk — sticky, wet, and easily broken.
