Her upbringing in the United States, alongside her studies in political science and environmental governance, has compelled her to interrogate and deconstruct the nationalist and patriarchal systems of state-sanctioned violence that were normalized around her. In both her writing and her life, she seeks to envision alternatives. She is currently at work on a novel inspired by nightlife; in the meantime, poetry has become a vital outlet through which to process complexity and to weave meaning from life\u2019s layers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2314,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2488","poet","type-poet","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":2488,"nl":2490},"pll_sync_post":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poet\/2488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poet"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/poet"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poet\/2488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2489,"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poet\/2488\/revisions\/2489"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.poetry.nl\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
