Bøger i The Georgia Poetry Prize Series serien

This collection of lyric poems wrestles with a sense of self that has become fragmented by the experience of war. Christopher Collins has taken his tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, extracted their emotional shrapnel, and examined their toll on his civilian life. He considers the two sides of himself that have been wrought in these parallel lives.

This collection speaks to the grief and trauma associated with stillbirth and infertility. But more than that, these poems are concerned with how both parents deal with this trauma without letting it tear them or their relationship apart.

Beautiful and lyrical, Chioma Urama's A Body of Water is a poetic exploration of ancestry in the American South. These poems are the result of a conversation Urama opened with her ancestors, whose documented and oral histories have been fragmented by a history of enslavement.
