InHERent

A chapbook traversing emotional and natural landscapes, Inherent is a vivid exploration of female lineage and what it means to belong. Reflecting upon her childhood in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Lucia Orellana-Damacela contemplates how distant memories resurface at moments of life transition, and how the past is an intrinsic part of the present. Infused with the totality of nature and familial love, the poetry of this collection considers the pervasive nature of memory and who or what we are defined by.
