To Some Women I Have Known

Description

“”Some Women I Have Known” is deliriously immersive, but the real beauty of this work is in the juxtaposition. What yokes the memory of a friend’s dying mother, a kidnapped heiress, a syphilis-stricken aunt, the ivory-billed woodpecker, and a woman in a yellow steakhouse shirt? Birds, women, horses, and pears float interdependent in the persistent spume of this gorgeous book.”–Barrie Jean Borich

“The writing in this collection is lyrical and composed, controlled even, and I know I’ll come back to it again and again.”–Jill Talbot
