In Kate Wylie's second collection of poetry, a fractured township creates this collective and constantly unraveling tapestry depicting run-of-the-mill, magically-infused experiences of American life. By weaving together unrelenting images throughout, Wylie's speakers examine with severe tenderness the necessity of love and its place in modern rural communities. With each poem, another thread of loss pulls itself into a larger landscape of resilience, revealing answers to existential questions found in haunting lyricism and emotional complexity.
