an identity polyptych(published in 2021 by The Elephants on the Salish Sea) is a hybrid memoir that explores familial estrangement, identity as a mixed-race Black person, and movement towards reconciliation. The book works to find an impossible peace as it relies on the trickiness of memory, the effects of trauma, the necessity and constant work of healing, and the unfulfilled wish to feel a true sense of belonging.
