Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee

Beschreibung

Poetry. "Dara-Lyn Shrager has an uncommon gift for distilling moments of ordinary terror into essential awareness. Her language is taut, precise, and harrowing. She writes at once out of radical vulnerability and extreme vigilance. All is vividly beheld, but the poet is word-bitten, tired in the eyes from seeing. Rarely have I read a first book so utterly focused, sustained, and perceptive. In the title poem, she is at sea, awake and alone in the dark, working the radio to signal that a storm is coming, WHISKEY, X-RAY, YANKEE is that warning, and it is a triumph of a debut."--Carolyn Forché
