Description:
Part fairy tale, part gothic ballad, Wait chronicles in poems the year before a young girl's marriage.
Review Quotes:
"Alison Stine renders landscape with a riveting, almost gothic ferocity. The universe of Wait crackles, burns brightly, while also leading into a darkness of its own. The collection is impressive not just for its immense formal grace, but also for the adamant, forceful desire--its 'call of skin'--that singes through every poem."--Maggie Nelson, author of Jane: A Murder
