The Gilded Flicker - Joanna Brown - Bog

The Gilded Flicker is an interrogation of what it means to live in our time as an activist, Jew, queer spouse, mother, and healer. Its poems perch at the edges and peer into multiple worlds: of the medical clinic during COVID, of the forest or park as haven or hell, of the detained or wounded teen, of pregnancy and death. These works are in passionate dialogue with each other and their surroundings, yet they still manage to pause and appreciate beauty and wonder.
