Book Synopsis
In these visceral poems, Diane Kerr reckons with dark trauma. Retracing memories from girlhood that she once felt compelled to keep secret, perspectives shift as the lens of adulthood brings the past into sharp clarity.

Trade Review
World building of the highest, most authentic order. The precise language of these poems lands us hard in the saddle of this singular midcentury, midwestern horse girl's world-Kerr makes us see it, unflinchingly, as if it were our very own." - Celeste Gainey, author of The Gaffer

"A breathtaking sequence of poems about the lifelong trauma of abuse. This brave writer never veers off path, never wavers. Kerr reminds us of the fierce power of story, how it can shake us to the core, raise us up, and save us." - Jan Beatty, author of Jackknife
