My Second Interior: A Memoir to 2025

By Elissa Carolina

Childhood leaves echoes inside the body-rooms, thresholds, shadows-that follow us long after we outgrow them.

My Second Interior is a thirty-four poem memoir to the past year. Through ribs, doorframes, and winter light, these poems chart the unraveling of an early self and the trembling construction of a new one.

Across three sections and a final autopsy of who she once was, the speaker moves through memory's sharp edges. The imagery is surreal and intimate-saltwater, bone, nicotine, snow-mapping the places where the body remembers what the mind tried to leave behind.

Lyrical, haunting, and quietly resilient, My Second Interior explores what remains after the breaking, and what might begin in the space that follows.
