Full Description
It is hard not to fall in love with the sensual, contemplative, sharp-eyed and often playful voice of Corrie Lynn White in her gutsy debut as she traverses the landscape of her personal history—its "uneven ground" and its badass set of matriarchs—looking to chart her own "narrow road" toward a complete and fulfilling life. Sometimes that means, "delet[ing] Tinder," and going it alone. Sometimes that means embracing romance and its raw pleasure: "I sleep next to him/like a hog/ when it finds/ cold mud." Where must we go? And, who with? It is the anxieties of this poet's very human search that ring most true. And, as a woman, I have rarely felt so seen by a book. —Lauren Goodwin Slaughter, author of Spectacle
