Description

In this, her second collection of poetry, Nancy K. Pearson explores the possibilities of recovery and transformation in a world where "words cease to matter." The speaker attempts to reconcile the past-a past shadowed by depression, addiction, and misdiagnosis. Pearson refuses to end in a place of relief, asking, "[D]on't we all / fall into aggregate darkness / for something?" Instead, her poems meditate on the lyric of absence and fragmentation. Pearson's poems are restless, unsettling, and revelatory.

Author Biography:

Nancy K. Pearson's first book of poems, Two Minutes of Light, received the L. L. Winship / PEN New England award and was named a "Must Read Book" at the 2009 Annual Massachusetts Book Awards. Pearson recently taught poetry at the University of Houston and now lives in Maryland with her partner.
