Selected as a winner of the National Poetry Series by Robert
Wrigley
Rose McLarney has won acclaim for image-rich poems that explore
her native southern Appalachia and those who love and live and lose
on it. Her second collection broadens these investigations in poems
that examine the shape-shifting quality of memory, as seen in
folktales that have traveled across oceans and through centuries,
and in how we form recollections of our own lives. An opening
sequence presents contemporary ghost stories: men who gather at
dawn in the gas station parking lots of small towns; the mountain
lion that paces the edge of a receding tree line. A middle section
draws connections between Appalachia and Latin America, places that
share qualities of biological and cultural richness--places that
are threatened by modernization. A final sequence retells the
stories of earlier poems, posing questions about how we construct
our landscapes and frame our views.
