The Green-go Turn of Telling

The Green-go Turn of Telling is a poetic excavation of self, a sifting ? archaeological and fine ? of the shards of a daughter. Each lyric poem in the collection recovers a piece of the lost, and so a shaping and a making, a recovering of self, are enacted in these pages. There is human wreckage here, but also a rescuing force of female wildness. The final love poems, at first fractured and reluctant, gradually move toward a recognition that "plain…hand-cranked" love can draw the "scorned and lonely self" into restorative human connection.
