Through playing with the double meaning of \"trying\" as both perseverance and reproductive struggle, these poems navigate public and private spheres and interrogate the words we use to make sense of uncertainty and belief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With sharp lyricism and restless energy, Malech transforms language into prayer and protest.
