This is the Truth

In This is the Truth/This is the End, Jennifer Kidney unspools memory like a dream sequence, layering stories, themes, and images to view an innocent past through the lens of experience. When turning her eye to the present, she highlights the humor of aging and the poetry of the day-to-day. Most importantly, Kidney finds poignancy and beauty in all her musings, as she does in "Mulberries and Roses," which sees her child-self picknicking"in a cemetery, the only park / in our part of town." ~Cullen Whisenhunt, author of Among the Trees
