In Shedding Season, nature presses against the domestic: flies in a kitchen, birds in trees, bruises over skin, houses that become traps. The book follows a broken narrative through violence, ecological damage, desire, disgust, and the instability of identity.
The collection expands the concerns of Snake Lore into a larger ecosystem: the body as animal, the family as weather system, language as a tool that can wound, survive, and change shape.
“A confident debut from a poet unafraid to use language like a sharpened blade.” — Shelf Awareness
