The Spare Parts Saga - Anne Harding Woodworth - Bog

Anne Harding Woodworth's The Spare Parts Saga is the journey of her book, Spare Parts: A Novella in Verse (Turning Point, 2008), as it is goes from Washington, DC, to a place between Co. Tipperary and Co. Clare, Ireland. It is not an easy trip. The poet chronicles her book's several transatlantic crossings. The U.S. Postal Service's daily tracking provides her with the titles of the poems, which prompt Anne to remember her past and to comment on life during the Covid pandemic, as well as to deride the USPS for the book's circuitous travel.
