Cleave
by Tiana Nobile
In her debut collection, Tiana Nobile explores and grapples with the complex history of adoption, both her own from South Korea and the broader, collective experience. Woven with psychologist Harry Harlow's monkey experiments in tandem with a highly personal cache of documents from her own adoption, these poems explore the complexities of dislocation, familial relationships, and the science of love and attachment.
