Description
All the Flowers Kneeling by Paul Tran is a powerful debut poetry collection that charts the rebuilding of a self in the wake of extremity. This visceral and astonishing book explores themes of survival, love, desire, freedom, control, and rebirth.
The poems in this collection reach back into the past to show how trauma can both scar and transform. Innovative poetic forms mirror the nonlinear experiences of trauma survivors, while ambitious sequences probe our systems of knowledge-making and the power of storytelling as survival.
