Bøker av Christy Prahl

In Christy Prahl's debut collection, her largely narrative-driven poems occupy the fissures of American life, whether exploring self, relationships, or the natural world. The poetic architecture acts as a kind of repair for the subjects themselves, who are often broken but striving. The result is Prahl's interrogation of the fragile hum of contemporary life as well as the brutalism that acts as its foil. Stirring, sensitive, and sincere, We Are Reckless helps lighten the weight of all we carry by breaking rules, stepping across boundaries, and risking pain for greater purpose
