This title presents poetic conversations with a God whose
omnipotence brings both peace and uncertainty. DeLana R. A. Dameron
searches for answers to spiritual quandaries in her first
collection of poems, ""How God Ends Us"", selected by Elizabeth
Alexander as the fourth annual winner of the South Carolina Poetry
Book Prize. Dameron's poetry forms a lyrical conversation with an
ominous and omnipotent deity, one who controls all matters of the
living earth, including death and destruction. The poet's
acknowledgement of the breadth of this power under divine
jurisdiction moves her by turns to anger, grief, celebration, and
even joy. From personal to collective to imagined histories,
Dameron's poems explore essential, perennial questions emblemized
by natural disasters, family struggles, racism, and the experiences
of travel abroad. Though she reaches for conclusions that cannot be
unveiled, her investigations exhibit the creative act of poetry as
a source of consolation and resolution.
