Self-Assessment - Tori Thurmond

. .

Résumé :
Self-Assessment includes poems of noticing, growth, and longing. Who the speaker is and who she wants to be, recognize each other in these poems. Gleaning inspiration from landscapes like the winding roads of the American South and the cold beaches of the Pacific Northwest and placing them alongside surreal, dream-like scenes, the speaker is allowed to openly examine herself with honesty and invites the reader to do the same.
