Shame has kept so many women’s stories silenced, with a cultural lineage of lack that asks women to give up their own desire while simultaneously performing cultural expectations of desire for others. Part excavation, part interrogation, and part subsequent untethering from this inheritance, the poems in Ellen Kombiyil’s magisterial Love as Invasive Species recognize that gender, class, capitalism, and legislation compound these issues that have stalked women for generations.
