Bücher von Shana Ross

This collection brings with it a lot of introspection, encouraging speculation in the small details around us; Perhaps, this work seems to say, it is important to take in the world around us whilte we gather our scattered thoughts. Perhaps this grounds us, so that we do not lose ourself to the fog of existentialism whilst trying to do the dishes. Thought-provoking and often very visceral. A valuable read for those who like to reflect on daily life.-Angelica Fyfe, editor at Luna Station Quarterly, administrator of the Chronic Pain CommunityHeavy Little Things is a deftly written collection of observations from within family life that weaves a rich tapestry from the complex details of domesticity. Shana Ross handles parenthood, grief, and love with a keen eye and sensitivity that makes each line resonate with deep connection.-Jennifer Lyn Parsons, Founder and Editor of Luna Station Quarterly and author of Take On MeIn Heavy Little Things, Shana Ross brings us to "the place in our lives where our ghosts have names" and our children strip unabashedly in the yard. At once poet and philosopher, Ross sciences us into "moving parts/magic lanterns" as she asks our bodies to consider what it was to collect ice in the early morning dark-what it might be-to strain like basement rhubarb: breaking, but always toward the light.-Sherre Vernon, author of Green Ink Wings and The Name is Perilous
