In explosive poems, which explore the confluence of trauma and desire, Heather Derr-Smith reclaims a troubled past, empowering the present through an unlikely chorus of grace and fury."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Review
“In her latest work, a Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award winner, Derr-Smith uses an intently packed, beautifully crafted pile-up of images to explore a rural Southern upbringing defined by the ugliness of abuse. In a world shaped by violence, by the casual male assumption of authority, and part of “a family of seekers, pick ax and lust,” she’s a girl pursuing the intensity of experience on her own terms. Passion thrums through these poems as counterbalance and power, and there’s uneasy satisfaction in watching the speaker turn her mean world around to her advantage so that finally “She outlasted them all.” ”
