Winner of the Noemi Press Poetry Prize (2016) and the Summer Literary Series-Disquiet Arkadii Dragomoshchenko Poetry Prize for innovative Poetry (2015)

Overland directly brings into discussion climate change, global warming, and politics

Overland builds on themes of assault, trauma, women's bodies, and giving voice to women survivors from her prior collection Indictus by including the assault against our feminized planet

Stream-of-consciousness writing style asks nonlinear ideas to sit cohesively together rendering a narrative that reads like Natalie Shapero's Popular Longing meets Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway

Potential audiences: those who identify as feminist or fans of feminist literature; women--particularly those who have experienced sexual assault or abuse; fans of eco-poetry, environmental justice, and leadership accountability; those who have experienced the death of a sibling or child (particularly in infancy)
