Winner of the Blessing the Boats SelectionForeword by Aracelis GirmayCharleen McClure's d-sorientation wanders the landscape of loss with a weathered eye and a clenched fist. Delving deep into personal hauntologies, McClure's speakers are dislocated-their observations and interrogations are quietly desperate as they navigate history, relationships, and dig for their roots. The lexicon of McClure's poetry is one of intimacy and outrage, one that challenges the reader to consider their own belonging.
Through bold lyric poems that beat with brutality yet glow with softness, McClure's debut collection is a compass, pointing the reader towards reclamation.
