It's What I Have Left cuts through inheritance, womanhood, and survival with an attentiveness to
what endures-and bites: memory lodged in the body, belief revised but not erased, love that
refuses to loosen its grip. In poems that braid lyric intensity with narrative pressure, these pages
trace how harm and devotion spool forward and back across generations, testing what love will
and will not allow. Prose poems such as "Dear Third Born Child, I Promise I'm Trying, Love,
Mom" and the searing "Notes for My Daughter As She Prepares for Her Most Public Sexual
Assault" unfold through instruction, footnote, and reckoning, holding rage and tenderness in the
same breath. Elsewhere, moments of hard-won clarity flare unexpectedly: "let the water make
the world a conch," a line that listens for vastness without judgment. Allen writes poems that
stay-echoing, spiraled, alive to what cannot be unlearned.
