(Part of the Poets Out Loud Series)

By Nancy K. Pearson

No Customer Reviews

In this, her second collection of poetry, Nancy K. Pearson explores the possibilities of recovery and transformation in a world where "words cease to matter." The speaker attempts to reconcile the past--a past shadowed by depression, addiction, and misdiagnosis. Pearson refuses to end in a place of relief, asking, "[D]on't we all / fall into aggregate darkness / for something?" Instead, her poems meditate on the lyric of absence and fragmentation. Pearson's poems are restless, unsettling, and revelatory.
