Poetry. Marisa Crawford's first collection of poetry evokes The
Breakfast Club's angst with deliberate control and fresh upheaval.
Centering on coming-of-age themes, Crawford is brutally honest yet
careful in her representations and confessional moments--she
invokes a preteen voice, capturing in detail female subjects, such
as one who wears "cotton flowers on her undershirt," and describing
"men who leave handprints all over your blankets." There is a
maddening and desirous investment in the characters littered
throughout: Ivy, Deidre, Virginia, Stephanie, Megan. Each girl is a
catalyst for another brilliantly crafted poem; each poem is a
catalyst for swizzle-stick nostalgia and a close re-examination of
girlhood. The winner of the 2008 Gatewood Prize, Crawford reminds
us that although we may make it out of our childhoods alive, we
never quite shake our own personal geographies.
