Desireé Dallagiacomo’s debut book grapples with the intersections of family and mental health. SINK asks and answers hard questions about grief, lineage, and the parts of ourselves we hide from others and from ourselves. In poems that are by turn lyrical, musical, and narrative, Dallagiacomo writes with honesty and empathy about growing up in California, grappling with her identity as a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and dealing with mental health issues. This is a book that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page. Like a memoir in verse, each poem is tethered to something pulsing.
