Brenda Shaughnessy: Our Andromeda – Poetry Collection

Description

Copper Canyon Press (paperback, 2012)

Publisher Marketing: Brenda Shaughnessy’s heartrending third collection explores dark subjects–trauma, childbirth, loss of faith–and stark questions: What is the use of pain and grief? Is there another dimension in which our suffering might be transformed? Can we change ourselves? Yearning for new gods, new worlds, and new rules, she imagines a parallel existence in the galaxy of Andromeda.
