1919

The choice to center the collection on such a pivotal year feels deliberate. I wonder what specific events or themes she wanted to highlight and why poetry was the chosen form.

The way the poems bring individual experiences to life amid broader social upheaval made me think about how history impacts personal identity. Would love to hear others' reactions.

Ewing’s use of rhythm and form seem intentional — I’m curious how different poetic choices might have changed the tone or message of the collection.
