Salvage

Poetry. In her gorgeous new collection, salvage, Kristy Bowen builds an associative world, where details intensify and dissipate like the sea. Haunted and mysterious, lush and encompassing, this word is wet--often submerged, scaled, salt-washed. The poems within it bob and sink as they explore love and disconnection, 'the riptide / pull of strange, lonely dogs and broken phone lines.'--Ruth Foley
