Produktbeschreibung
Shannon Wolf's debut collection is incandescent, a transnational anthem about family trauma and the universal desire for selfhood. "My birthplace was misplaced", Shannon Wolf writes, and in GREEN CARD GIRL, her poems follow her journey from the South-West of England to Washington, Louisiana, and Colorado. Forming a tight, cohesive narrative, moving from a place of loneliness and confusion to a place of belonging, Wolf's poems reckon with the estrangement of first, one and then, another parent with tender attention and brutal lines, and celebrate a new, startling love and chosen family, with insistent sonnets and electrifying use of white space. GREEN CARD GIRL is evocative, emotional, and epiphanic; Wolf writes: "I am not going home. I have made it here, anew."
