Hunger

Inspired by the psychological dimensions of Anne Sexton's confessional poetry, Carabajal's collection, Hunger, emerges from an artistic ethic in which poetry is not simply a daily praxis, but a survival mechanism-a reason to live. Poetry is not only confessional in Carabajal's work, it is redemptive, charting the art of healing through a hunger that turns desire inside out to find language as the deepest form of intimacy. Blurring the line between journaling, confession, and refuge, Carabajal explores the process by which we refine the truths we can tell ourselves.
