F237. Four principal poets debut new collections from Alice James Books and discuss the expansive nature of storytelling in poems. Expressing individuality via internal and external landscapes; disabling hierarchies; examining lineage and familial influences; and uncovering how personal and collective histories collapse–and inform and obscure our memories, languages, and selves–the poets communicate collective visions of our myriad borders and query origins with an approach akin to transillumination.
