2020 was the year that disrupted life as we know it, but 2021 was the year we began rebuilding.

In this collection of poems and short pieces written over the course of 2021, Gooden continues to navigate life after Covid.

Still searching for the evanescent in the everyday, she touches on everything from loss to joy as she examines the inherent conflicts that come with working in a system perpetually short on everything.

Set against the backdrop of returning to her roots, she will discover that sometimes, you can go home, even when everything has changed.
