Author Description

In this luminous collection of poetry, Mary Beth Davis captures the tangled beauty of growing up in Mississippi. With vivid imagery and aching honesty, these poems explore the bittersweet journey of coming of age, the fierce tenderness of love, and the quiet hauntings of loss. From the rusted screen doors of childhood to the sliding glass doors of adulthood, this book is a meditation on the places we leave behind-and the pieces of ourselves we find there.
