Summary:

"What happens when we believe in something that isn't there? What happens to the mind maps of places we don't live in anymore? What happens when we doubt our own history? We cling to the solidity of physical space. Our abstracted sense of being swells to its limits, presses against its boundary of skin, bumps up against the world, finds itself there. Washing Off the Raccoon Eyes explores the idea that we as humans are undefined, chaotic, that we come to know ourselves through the spaces we inhabit and the people we encounter. These are hungry poems looking feverishly outwards, phenomenological poems that speak of late nights, feminist issues, mental illness and writing itself."-- Provided by publisher.
