Description
In tether, a spacecraft of a book superbly conceived and assembled, Lisa Fay Coutley engineers both recovery and healing in poems that swerve emotionally between the landing bays of grief, longing, and wonder. A bright hunger constellates around these poems, but so too the immensities of love. tether is a burning inquiry into the miracle of being here on earth and what keeps us fastened to each other, for better or worse. -Major Jackson
