Additional information
by Alessandra Lynch (Author)
This heart-wrenching book examines the tensions between the
harshness of violence and the beauty of everyday life. There is a
discourse with the wreckage in these poems that infiltrate life after
trauma and violence as it perpetuates onward, pulling us into the
speaker's domain and the endless cycle of attempting to overcome--without
forgetting--the past.
