Tia Chucha Press continues its commitment to new writers with this first collection of poems by Anne-Marie Cusac - an edgy, meticulously written exploration with intense focus on the experience and the voices of women. Deeply engaged with living speech and the larger implications of the everyday, this book is rich with historical detail and psychological insight. Cusac’s heartland lyrics restore to us the missing episodes of ordinary life, in the words of the people who lived them, and are filled with extraordinary feeling and importance.
