Publisher's Synopsis
It is hard not to fall in love with the sensual, contemplative, sharp-eyed and often playful voice of Corrie Lynn White in her gutsy debut as she traverses the landscape of her personal history-its "uneven ground" and its badass set of matriarchs-looking to chart her own "narrow road" toward a complete and fulfilling life. Sometimes that means, "delet[ing] Tinder," and going it alone. Sometimes that means embracing romance and its raw pleasure: "I sleep next to him/like a hog/ when it finds/ cold mud." Where must we go? And, who with? It is the anxieties of this poet's very human search that ring most true. And, as a woman, I have rarely felt so seen by a book. -Lauren Goodwin Slaughter, author of Spectacle
