ONE CLEAN FEATHER - Julia Caroline Knowlton - Bog

One Clean Feather depicts survival from illness and sexual violence, and also paints a portrait of the artist striving to find living, literary mothers and sisters. In poems "sharp as silver, clean and stunning" and locations ranging from the Midwest to Paris, Knowlton invites her readers on a flight from darkness into the light of autonomy, poetry, and hope- "the thing with feathers."
