EveryHerDies

by Jennifer MacBain-Stephens

"Jennifer Macbain-Stephens’ stunning cycle of poems EveryHerDies disquiets and alarms, but also emboldens with the wideness and intensity of an instinctual empathy. These poems eddy with all the soreness, painful kinship, and uneasiness of a child trying to fit the images of blue-tongued dead deer, or alive deer so decayed they must walk on their chests, into her experience. Alongside this traumatic soreness appears the Real: the warm plates of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, the crocheted toilet paper holder, the unalterable facts about the Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease that gruesomely destroyed so many white-tailed deer in Michigan." —B. Elizabeth Morningsnow, author of The Whale in the Woods
