Winner of the 2018 National Jewish Book Award for Poetry Finalist
for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry Erika
Meitner's fifth collection of poetry plumbs human resilience and
grit in the face of disaster, loss, and uncertainty. These
narrative poems take readers into the heart of southern
Appalachia-its highways and strip malls and gun culture, its
fragility and danger-as the speaker wrestles with what it means to
be the only Jewish family in an Evangelical neighborhood and the
anxieties of raising one white son and one black son amidst racial
tensions and school lockdown drills. With a firm hand on the pulse
of the uncertainty at the heart of 21st century America and a
refusal to settle for easy answers, Meitner's poems embrace life in
an increasingly fractured society and never stop asking what it
means to love our neighbor as ourselves.
