Publication Date: October 20, 2018

Publisher Marketing: Poetry. “This book ripped me the hell open. I felt like these poems written with dirt, bones, blood, and rust were my own forgotten memories that came rushing back into my wound. Sometimes I was afraid to turn the page, but I kept going because I had to, because that’s our lives, our people, our places. Julia Madsen puts us on notice while showing us how to be caring and gracious by sitting and attending to these ignored voices and landscapes that are burdened by clinging to/giving life.”—Steven Dunn
