| Description: | Select Guide Rating Delicate, authentic poems that oscillate between grief and joy as they explore parenthood and loss. There is beautyin the teacuplike dressesrequiring crinolineor beaded pursestoo small to carryanything but anger.—from “Inheritance”Marita Dachsel’s third poetry collection explores parenthood, love, and the grief of losing those both close and distant. In the tradition of Karen Solie and Suzanne Buffam, and with a touch of Canadian Gothic, Dachsel’s poetic skills unfold in a variety of brief and expansive forms. Authentic and controlled, full of complexity and disorder, her poems offer release despite their painful twists and topics. Readers across generations will find kinship in Dachsel’s grief-fuelled and vulnerable words. |
