Description
In her second collection of poems, Lee Ann Roripaugh probes themes of mixed-race female identities, evoking the molting processes of snakes and insects who shed their skins and shells as an ongoing metaphor for transformation of self.

This collection explores cultural, psychological, and physical liminalities and exposes the diasporic arc cast
