Description: "This poetry book collects together some of the author's best poems from two previous books, and adds in a stellar collection of new poems. The arc of the book provides insight into decades of life within an extended family. Full of sentiment, but not sentimental, the poetry in Sea Nettles leads the reader toward an examination of joys and difficulties of family life"--
Review Quotes:
I love how this collection gives us decades of insight into a family, offers epiphanies that are only available after many years have gone by. These are personal poems with a wide perspective, intimate poems that take the long view. Each poem is like a stepping stone that bridges the present and the past. It feels appropriate, then, that this collection features poems from two previous collections, providing a richer understanding of the relationships we've explored in the first half of the book. These are efficient, muscular poems with sensual, unusual language.
