Born Two

Overview

Born2:

In lyrics, prose poems, and a faux play, Allison Cobb excavates her history as a child of Los Alamos where the first atomic bombs were made, as the granddaughter of WWII veterans, and as a queer poet finding words to speak what she knows. These are poems of finding, and of survival.
