"In her sixth full-length poetry collection, Laura Apol returns to themes of loss and grief, to injuries that are, at least partly, cauterized: her struggles with a conservative religious upbringing, her mother's illness and death, children growing up and leaving home, the loss of her adult daughter to suicide, a world-wide pandemic, and the casualties of age."--
"Personal and public histories anchor this collection of elegiac poems about the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"--
In The Luck of the Fall, characters get lost; they fall, but the falls shape their lives in ways that might even be called "lucky"--if luck is defined as survival, despite the scars left behind. They take consolation in their lack of prizes, in the clarity of their failures, while approaching the future with gallows humor and jaded naivety. The logic of the heart wins out in this short-fiction collection set along Eight Mile Road on the edge of Detroit.
Ice Hours is a suite of poems set in majestic and severe Antarctica, chronicling the nearly forgotten story of the Ross Sea party. Weaving historical and scientific research into lilting verse, Marion Starling Boyer follows the adventurers who sailed on the Aurora at the beginning of World War I to support Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. These poems reveal the characters of the explorers and the conflicts they faced during the two years they labored to lay a chain of supply depots across the ice, unaware that Shackleton would never come because his ship sank on the opposite side of the continent. Through lyric and formal poetic forms, Ice Hours brings to life the close of a heroic period interwoven with the brooding voice of the Antarctic continent, evoking themes of what occurs when humanity engages with the sublime.
A Clan Mother story for the twenty-first century, Sacred Wilderness explores the lives of four women of different eras and backgrounds who come together to restore the foundation to a mixed-up, mixed-blood woman--a woman who had been living the American dream, and found it a great maw of emptiness. In lyrical, lushly imagined prose, Sacred Wilderness is a novel of unprecedented necessity.
