Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. The poems in SOFTCOVER capture fleeting human experience in the clear-eyed and direct language of an honest and crucial friend. Monica Fambrough carefully arrays essential objects (keys, pills, husbands, washing machines) and essential feelings (self-consciousness, confidence, love) in the hope that they won't be lost. This book is forthright, sidelong, and inevitably feminist. It invites you to get comfortable then turns on a dime. The world we recognize is still a wonder, and the words we know are enough. Times washes through and around you, but SOFTCOVER is a distillation. A still-life of life itself.
