Abstract
BRIMMING WITH TEETH is a feral, lyrical collection that reimagines grief, transformation, and survival through the language of bone, blood, and myth. These poems blur the line between the human and the animal, the living and the dead, to forge a brutal, breathtaking new world. The objective of this collection is to examine instincts, the things that live below the conscience, and what makes us human.
