Synopsis

Love and death, poetry's immortal themes, are interwoven throughout Amanda Newell's Postmortem Say. Death is everywhere-in the fields and forests, on darkened roads, in the delivery room-but there is also love, the kind that defies convention and outlasts death itself. These poems confront, without flinching, hard truths about what it means to be a woman, a mother, a wife, and a lover.

-Sue Ellen Thompson, author of Sea Nettles: New & Selected Poems
