• Above the Fall Line

  Powerfully reckoning with history, this collection explores what it means to be a citizen in the years following the Civil Rights movement. Poems take us into classrooms resonant with the dream of Martin Luther King, but also into Confederate war trenches in Richmond, Virginia, a city still worshipping its past. How does a young white woman define herself in this environment, especially after the sudden loss of the father who may have guided her? From confusion and contradictions emerges a voice that challenges easy answers, finding insight and unexpected moments of beauty.
