a rootbound plant needs space to grow

Stacey Zhu

Fieldmouse Press

In this deeply intimate collection, Stacey Zhu combs through the clues left behind by romance, lust, family, and melancholia to answer a difficult but human question — what is love? What she finds in a root bound plant needs space to grow distinctly captures the paradoxes of love and acceptance in human life, and in our reading, we are forced to reckon with our own relationships, decisions, and desires.
