Description
In this award-winning debut, Mary Helen Callier gathers poems that move through the imaginative interior of childhood, set against the uncanny beauty of the American South. With a curtain-drawn darkness at the edges, her lines stage memory as a living theater—where moments arrive as silhouettes, sounds, and near-forms rather than fully graspable things. The result is a high-wire encounter with place, self, and other, haunted by what slips away and what lingers after loss. Lyrical and deeply curious, Callier’s distinctive style turns fleeting recollection into an atmosphere you can feel long after the page ends.
