Collection of poetry, selected by Lee Ann Brown as Winner of the Carolina Wren Press Poetry Series award.
This is Aeneas, once son of Venus, now a warfighting daughter of America deployed 'from Charlottesville to Fallujah, ' straining in the thick of modern war's most perverse miasma. Tiffany Higgins' anachronistic and recast hero is one brilliantly charged nexus of exploitation and war; she is captured, tortured, and released as a sequence of heart-breaking lyrics. A stunning book. --Patrick Herron, author of The American Godwar Complex
A compendium of poems about the Western United States by the esteemed poet William Pitt Root
In a half-red sea, Evie Shockley is 'dreaming the lives of the ancestors.' Navigating against prevailing currents, these poems sail on eddy and backflow, taking inspiration from knots and twists of American history and culture. Whether improvising between the lines of a slave narrative in 'henry bibb considers love and livery,' amplifying Lady Day's most devastating blues in 'you can say that again, billie,' or going freestyle with 'double bop for ntozake shange,' Shockley's imaginationtravels every which away. In 'a thousand words' and other reflections on contemporary events, Shockley's firm grounding in history adds weight and depth to her observations of the recent past and present. - Harryette Mullen, Advance Reader
