Sarah Riggs: Lines — Poetry Collection

Description

Winter Editions, paperback

Publication Date: May 6, 2025

Publisher Marketing: Sarah Riggs’s eighth book of poems pulls from the momentum of Lyn Hejinian’s My Life and Bernadette Mayer’s Memory to create a survival manual for a Trump presidency and a family crisis. Riggs’s book-length poetry cycle begins with 47-line poems (corresponding to the author’s age) and breaks its form as it builds, riding on association and assonance. Lines seeks to turn colonial power & patriarchy on its head through the movements of the mind and the sanity of poetry.
