Ablation

By Danika Stegeman LeMay

Ablation is an elegy to Stegeman LeMay's mom, who died in 2020, and, simultaneously, a love letter to Stegeman LeMay's young daughter. The book was written in the liminal spaces opened by birth, death, and trauma. It contains poems, hybrid text, images as windows and thread as a form of healing. The book's materials coalesce and surface, waves washing along the thresholds of control and chaos, form and formlessness. These thresholds become points of divergence, where what's essential is carried forward, where all else is transformed and unshored.
