Bücher von Ona Gritz

In 1982, twenty-five-year-old Angie Boggs, pregnant with her second child, was brutally murdered, along with her husband and infant son.

"The poems in Border Songs," writes notable memoirist and poet, Stephen Kuusisto, "offer more than a conversation between poets: they're conversant, knowledgeable, informed by eros, loss, delight, curiosity, and intimate wisdom." In this collection, Ona Gritz and Daniel Simpson create a dialogue in poems that surveys the borders between connection and longing, having and lacking, believing and doubting, and living and dying. "That these voices, against the odds, have found one another is a sort of miracle," says award winning poet, Renee Ashley. "That they are harmonious and comforting speaks volumes of our larger humanity and of our singular loves."
