Nesting Beasts

"The many different people you will become already live inside of you..."

Nesting Beasts is a collection of poems, prose, and short stories by Naiche Lizzette Parker woven together as an illustrative and surreal coming of age tale. Branched by the defining times of her life so far, the writer and poetess uses her childhood, upbringing, great loves, greater heartbreaks, dreams, and imaginings to tell her quarter-life memoir. From old favorite poems first published in her early works Paper and Bones, Rabbit Holes, and More Than Anything to new pieces that are as vulnerable as they are whimsical, the collection serves as an ending, a beginning, and an unflinching culmination of young adulthood.
