Bücher von Karen Kilcup

Written across four decades, The Art of Restoration elicits multiple voices that trace a trajectory from a complex childhood "Living in a Split" to empowered, even erotic, old age. The collection is, as one poem underscores, "Elemental" in its intensity and draws strength from experience. Reflecting a rural childhood among the working class, the poems invite readers to remember the places, moments, and people that animate, delight, and comfort us-if we let them.
