Saint Consequence

What does it mean to inhabit a body--and for that body to inhabit our beautiful, damaged, shared world? The book traces an outward trajectory from familial self-reckoning to ever-broader and more diverse spheres of influence and connection.

Ever wary of the temptation, in Adrienne Rich's words, "to make a career of pain," these poems emerge of a belief that the limits of our knowledge don't merely constrain us; instead, they invite us to imagine our place in the world with greater nuance and generosity, and to reckon with the endless particularity of lives other than our own.
