Themes
- Trauma and Recovery: Poems examine lasting effects of physical and emotional violence, the bodily traces of abuse, and attempts to narrate or contain pain.
- Identity and Selfhood: London probes how personal and familial histories shape subjectivity; speakers shift between first- and second-person to unsettle stable identities.
- Domestic Space and Violence: Ordinary household scenes become sites of threat and memory, suggesting danger within intimate spaces.
- Body as Archive: Faces and bodies function as records of experience—scars, expressions, and gestures hold stories that language attempts to read.
- Power and Control: Power dynamics in relationships, patriarchal violence, and social coercion appear throughout, often without explicit moralizing.
