The poems of A Moth Collection converse with Charles Darwin, Tina Turner, Sylvia Plath, Sacagawea, Walt Whitman, Kendrick Lamar, and the author's family members who survived World War II in the Philippines. What does it mean to survive? What does it mean to die? What makes us human? What makes us just another animal? Ojascastro Guzon explores the biological sciences, pop culture, current events, religion, her family's generational history, and personal experiences with death, rebirth, survival, motherhood, marriage, the practice of medicine, education, and being a first generation Filipino American in attempts to answer these questions.
