Gilbert, D. Walsh
[m]ar[y]
In America many elderly people are made invisible, but the poems in D. Walsh Gilbert's collection bring one such individual vividly into focus.

The Pink I Must Have Worn

Peterson, Scarlett
The Pink I Must Have Worn
Scarlett Peterson's debut collection, The Pink I Must Have Worn, is haunted and haunting. Through sharp and luscious lyricism, this intimate portrayal transforms the speaker's dead and disowned into a heartbreaking catharsis as she explores the thin boundaries between desire and addiction, silence and abandonment. Formally varied, vivid, and visceral, these poems disclose the betrayals of a traumatic childhood, but also arrive at stunning mome...
