Abstract
Syllabic Heirlooms is a collection steeped in lyricism, myth and Southwestern idiom as it explores inherited speech, feminine self-possession and the journey from love to liberation. An abbreviated version of the collection won Duke's 2017 Academy of American Poets Prize (First Place) and went on to win Duke English's Anne Flexner Award for Poetry in 2018, and it contributed to Hooks' reception of the inaugural Council for the Arts Award for Excellence. Selections of the collection have been published by APSU's Red Mud Review and by Z Publishing's North Carolina's Best Emerging Poets. The work is heavily influenced both by thesis advisor Dr. Joseph Donahue and by Dr. Nathaniel Mackey.
