What Good Is Heaven

Poems Volume 11

Beschreibung

Set in a rural agricultural community in north Alabama, this collection interrogates the complicated relationship between violence and love. Viewed through the lens of a young, bisexual woman, these poems layer a queer coming-of-age narrative with poems of witness to the difficult realities both of rural and farm life and of violent cultural norms.
