Synopsis

Davis artfully traverses paths of personal trauma, chronic illness, and identity, exploring how language and lyricism become acts of survival. The work is a tapestry of fragments-portraits of family, love, loss, and resilience-woven together with precision and heart. Throughout, literary figures such as Lucille Clifton and Ruth Stone appear as luminous guides, offering solace and strength in the darkest moments. What begins as an exploration of survival gradually transforms into a bid for connection, belonging, and creative reclamation. Poetry emerges not as a solution to suffering, but as a companion and witness to it.
