Produktbeschreibung
These poems have a visual richness, narrative depth, and lyric beauty that invites the reader into their world. At the center of it is a young woman trying to find the words to tell the stories of a life and make sense of the way we all struggle to cope with life's burdens and recognize life's beauty. This is the second edition of Sink's first volume of poetry. In it she observes characters who are trying, through flawed families and communities, to make sense of life's struggles. For Sink, there is the wound of childhood sexual violence at the center of the story, a silence and silencing of violence, and the attempt to organize the world truthfully to offer healing of a different sort than is offered in the Pentecostal, fundamentalist tradition she found herself. A wound that makes it difficult to embrace life in the world outside the church as well.Poe
