OverviewIn the aftermath of her mother's suicide, one young woman recognises the malleability of her reality. From her adolescence in the flat, hot Floridian landscape to a tectonic Missouri adulthood, a girl shaped by grief is compelled to create and manipulate her image of the world. As her dreams become indistinguishable from daily life, she begins to question memory, identity, and the function of love. Employing photography as its central metaphor, Darkroom tackles the tangled relationship between memory and mourning by exploring an artist's impossible attempt to re-create the object of loss.

And yet the lyricism, the long casts of memory draw you into the past. Danziger's chant of her own pain translates into the memories we all have of childhood, as we view her album of adolescence and growth. -- St. Louis Magazine Blog <br> <p> This poet takes risks: not easy, her originality waits and gives life. In Danziger's flying language and deep intelligence, here are grief not formalized, joy not smoothed out. --Jean Valentine, Brittingham Prize judge and National Book Award winner Author InformationJazzy Danziger studied at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Virginia, where she was a Henry Hoyns/Poe-Faulkner Fellow in poetry.
