Bøker av Ava Leavell Haymon

Records in woman's language the charm and bite of domestic life. Ava Leavell Haymon's poems form a collection of Household Tales, unswerving and unsentimental, serving up the strenuous intimacies, children, meals, pets, roused memories, outrages, and solaces of marriage and family.

On a pilgrimage to the Kingdom of Nepal, a group of American women trek into the Himalayas. Ava Leavell Haymon responds with language that strives to reconcile the extremes of this exotic place - danger and awesome beauty, community and abandonment, death and life, flame's heat and altitude's cold, an alien landscape and the poet's own memories.

In The Grace of Distance, his poignant, far-traveling new collection of poems, Matthew Thorburn explores the ways in which we try to close the distances we experience in modern life, between doubt and faith, between cultures, between ourselves and those we love.

Katie Bickham's dazzling collection resounds with the intensity of new motherhood and confronts the relationship between mothers and their children, as she explores what it means to carry a child. Moving from the mid-1800s to 2017, these finely wrought poems grapple with how war, violence, and enslavement can disrupt our innocence.
