We Are Mary Shelley's Monster tunes in to history and the present through poetry from the author's perspective, as well as how and where those moments exist collectively for the rest of the world. Frequently, mythology ushers the reader through this chapbook, either in the context of ancient gods and goddesses or modern figures and celebrities. This crafting of the past within the present through familiar names and events intends to highlight the damage done, but also remind us of how we might heal on humanity's circular path.
