Book Synopsis
In this debut collection of poems, Sarah Alcott Anderson of Exeter, N.H., explores love, longing, loss, marriage, children, and place through her own experiences. ""In mostly plainspoken poems, I explore interior and exterior landscapes--from childhood to motherhood, New England to Ireland--in the hope of honoring that we are here right now,"" she says. Poet Matt Miller in the foreword writes that Anderson's lines seem ""at times spun from a sugared lightning, at other times are as plain and enriched as Irish bog or New Hampshire granite, line and lyric come together to insist against a silence the world would have the poet embrace.
