Wanton Disarray

by Michelle Hartman

In this, her fourth full collection of poems, Michelle Hartman continues her breathtakingly honest, bawdy, and shockingly, precise narrative look, this time at love and loss. The book begins with breakup poems, as Hartman says, You can't appreciate love 'till you've kissed the curb once. The book's second half is an honest look at love when it's so good. Our futures filled with insatiable appetites. Hartman has been published in numerous journals in America and overseas. She holds a BS in Political Science Pre-Law from Texas Wesleyan University, and a certificate in Paralegal Studies from Tarrant County College, who recently named her a Distinguished Alumni. She is the former editor of Red River Review.
