Midwest gothic : poems
Laura Donnelly (Author)
"The poems in Midwest Gothic make the daily deliciously strange-"the daily/ which isn't still at all but a whirring/ gone deep." They make us work our way inside them, but once I entered this book, I didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay in "the copper-tipped town"; I wanted to stay with the delphinium, "a choir of indigo," and "cornfields made surreal/ in the dark." These difficult times have tested my faith in many things, including language, and Midwest Gothic arrived just in time to remind me what poems can do. -Maggie Smith"-- Provided by publisher
