Penumbra-Michael Shewmaker's debut collection-explores the
half-shadows of a world torn between faith and doubt. From
intricate descriptions of the rooms in a dollhouse, to the stark
depiction of a chapel made of bones, from pre-elegies for a ghostly
father, to his compelling treatment of his obsessed, human
characters (a pastor, a tattoo artist, a sleepwalker, to name only
a few), these are poems that wrestle with what it means to believe
in something beyond one's own mortality. Learned and formally
adept, these poems consist of equal parts praise and despair. They
announce Shewmaker as an important new voice in American poetry.
