Description

"Make no bones about it," Chelsea Rathburn writes: "Juliana's Gray's dark and dangerous third collection is preoccupied with death." The sometimes macabre, often witty poems of Honeymoon Palsy move through history and myth, the public and the personal, culminating in a central series combining Hamlet with elegies for Gray's father, who died suddenly the day after his second wedding. In poems about art, desire, marriage, and murder, Gray leavens mortality with wry humor, reminding readers that we all are "waiting to feel the catch / of some great, unbearable hook."

Author Biography:

Juliana Gray is the author of The Man Under My Skin (River City Publishing, 2005) and Roleplay (Dream Horse Press, 2012), which won the 2010 Orphic Prize, as well as the chapbook Anne Boleyn's Sleeve (Winged City Press, 2014). Her poems have appeared in Best American Poetry, Birmingham Poetry Review, Sou'wester, 32 Poems, and other journals and anthologies. An Alabama native, she lives in Alfred, New York, where she is a professor of English at Alfred University.
