A book-length narrative in poems, The Familiar explores female mid-life existential crisis through two characters, the Ordinary Self and the Extraordinary Self, who send a single household into chaos as they vacillate between the siren call of ambition, the necessity of the workplace, and responsibility to love and family. Engaging with philosophy and pop culture, bouncing between high and low diction, The Familiar considers the effects of second and third-wave feminism through an absurdist and fabulist lens, wrestling with the notion women can truly "have it all."
