These poems are a meditation on the myriad divisions and inequities we face, both personally and as a society. In Disconnects and Other Broken Threads, award-winning poet Emily-Sue Sloane pulls on many of the fraying threads that divide us and gently weaves them with striking imagery to inspire connections through hope and, at times, humor.

"Like a gardener cultivating a bonsai tree, Emily-Sue Sloane takes big, wild concepts like mortality, impotent rage, grief and regret and presents them to us as stark small snapshots of everyday life." -Rorie Kelly, singer/songwriter, Shadow Work "Sloane sees, feels, and speaks with an honesty that will not accept the glib comfort of pretense....[She] suggests again and again, with rage, regret, humor, irony and anger: This is what it takes to be alive." -Scudder Parker, poet and author of Safe as Lightning
"Indignant of social injustices, she deconstructs the makeup of contemporary life, giving a thundering voice to the voiceless." -Tonia Leon, bilingual poet and translator, author of My Beloved Chaos
