Publisher's Synopsis
"There is everything at stake-unabashed and utterly necessary-in Lisa Parker's brilliant first book. Memory and family and the blood of the land. Have you missed real poetry? Have you wondered where it's gone? Well, here it is. This is poetry in Lisa Parker's tending hands: stunningly new, yet familiar to the heart as scripture.-Honorée Jeffers, Red Clay Suite and The Gospel of Barbecue"--.
