Bücher der Reihe Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series

In this innovative debut collection, Tacey M. Atsitty employs traditional, lyric, and experimental verse to create an intricate landscape she invites readers to explore. Presented in three sections, Tseyi', Gorge Dweller, and Tohee', the poems negotiate between belief and doubt, self and family, and interior and exterior landscapes.

In this dynamic debut collection, Fernando Perez employs lyric and nonce forms to interrogate identity politics and piece together a complex family history. The book embodies fragmentation in form and story, exploring how migration affects relationships between people of different generations. Perez invites readers on the journey as his family story unfolds over time and distance.

Pays homage to the rivers that taught the poet - the Rio Grande and the Chicago and Illinois Rivers. Sharp-eyed and empathetic, Golden serves as a witness, documenting place, history, and people, especially those left voiceless due to violence or discrimination.

Winner of the Kenyon Review Earthworks Prize for Indigenous Poetry, Midge deftly weaves Plains Indian myths into the present day and seeks to define love, the nature of desire, and identity in the twenty-first century.

Draws on a number of styles - persona, ekphrastic, lyrical, formal - to create a collection that explores the promises of love and loss. From pleasure to pain to hope of new love, this collection draws readers into the everyday magic of the world.
