The "exquisitely crafted poems" of this prize-winning collection weave together past and present to explore touch, trauma, and the female body (G.C. Waldrep).
The eighteenth-century glass armonica, a musical instrument whose sound emits from rotating water-filled vessels, has long held the power to mesmerize with its hauntingly sorrowful tones. Just as its song-which was once thought to induce insanity-wraps itself in and around the mind, Rebecca...
