Hunger (VIA Folios)

Hunger is a fierce and intimate portrait of survival, inheritance, and the ache of becoming. In her debut collection, Danielle Jones moves across generations and continents-from wartime Italy to the Deep South-with poems that thread together the visceral details of history, family, and the body. Whether foraging in "abandoned gardens" or slicing "a potato so thin you can see the sun / of her skin shining through," these poems explore the everyday rituals of care and cruelty, the silences we carry, and the secrets buried in kitchens, attics, and the body itself. —Diannely Antigua, author of Good Monster
