Bøger af Megan Snyder-Camp

Poetry. Winner of the Tupelo Press/Crazyhorse Award for an Outstanding First Book selected by Carol Ann Davis. THE FOREST OF SURE THINGS is a layered sequence of poems set in a remote, historic village at the tip of a peninsula on the Northwest Coast, near where Lewis and Clark encountered the Pacific. A pair of newlywed drifters has arrived and settled there, starting the town's first new family in a hundred years. When their second child is stillborn, the bereft family unravels and un-roots themselves. Megan Snyder-Camp's poems reveal--like the shoreline exposed by a neap tide--an emotional landscape pressed upon and buckling under the complications of grief and the difficulties of language.
