The Vulture Girl - Carrie Nassif - Bog

A speculative memoir in experimental poetry, "the vulture girl" begins with the odd allegation of the author's mother that the she had been (unbeknownst to her) born a twin. This begins a line of introspection that introduces the reader to a handful of inner guardians who live outside of linear time. A chapter for each: twin, rabbit, old stag, little wing, vulture, fawn, and tornado, these have protected and continue to protect the author, aka "the girl." Over the course of the book, they, and her search for them, help her to repair and reintegrate traumatic childhood experiences presented in fragmented narratives.
