In her debut poetry book, Tegan Zimmerman recuperates and (re)conceives the mythical figure of the chimera to explore maternity, monstrosity, labour, and reproduction. Conceiving chimeras as the maternal and in the plural, not the singular, Chimeras engages repetition and mimicry to critique the western philosophical-literary canon's paternal roots, grappling with Marx, Plato, Shakespeare, and Nietzsche. Chimeras brilliantly explores the fragility of identity categories, the slipperiness between the contradictory roles assigned to the maternal: goddess-lover-wife-mother-crone-monster.
