(more)
▼ The Barest Rib is a collection of poetry, in four sections, that explores the struggle for control between a woman's mind and her body by telling stories of motherhood, daughterhood, sisterhood, and wifehood. When the mind wins, these poems are self-conscious, aware that they are manipulating the narratives. When the body wins, these poems are emotionally raw, in anger, sorrow, bitterness, and, occasionally, joy.
