FLP BOOK OF THE DAY: BLOODROOT: VOICES FROM A SALEM HOUSEHOLD by Erin Ganaway

On SALE: https://finishinglinepress.com/product/bloodroot-voices-from-a-salem-household-by-erin-ganaway/

Bloodroot: Voices from a Salem Household is a pastoral gothic set against the smoldering backdrop of 1692 Salem. A narrative in verse, the collection carries readers through the contrapuntal voices of an afflicted girl and the woman accused of bewitching her, an enslaved servant living under the same roof. Through motifs of blood, cloth, fire, and bone, the poems explore silence and intimate textures of domestic work, spirituality and madness, girlhood and undoing, raising questions about what it means to be believed and what it means to be accused. #women #poetry #Salem #gothic #witches

FINISHING LINE PRESS CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY:
Memories of Green by Erin Ganaway $14.99, paper

https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/memories-of-greenby-erin-ganaway/

Erin Ganaway is the author of a full-length collection of poetry, The Waiting Girl (Texas Review Press, 2013), winner of the Texas Review Press Breakthrough Poetry Prize: Georgia. Her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in many journals and anthologies, including an anthology of poems and photography edited by Georgia Poet Laureate Judson Mitcham, Inspired Georgia, as well as Best New Poets and The Southern Poetry Anthology. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from Hollins University and divides her time between Atlanta and Cape Cod.

Erin Ganaway gives us a world seen through the dual lens of grief and praise. She sees this world clearly, and she renders it in textured language that compels us to feel the words as we understand them. This is the work of the poet. In this moving collection, Ganaway has done that work well.
–Judson Mitcham
Erin Ganaway’s poems are as emotionally deep as they are clear-cut and precise at the surface. The elegiac poems of Memories of Green offer their readers an almanac of loss, an atlas of grief, and yet, in their close attention to the natural world (both inner and outer), a calendar of celebration. They condense the complex collateral damage surrounding a suicide, the memories and regrets and moments of providentially heightened awareness, into a poetry of pure presence.
–R. H. W. Dillard
Erin Ganaway‘s Memories of Green reflects a complex mind, both elegiac and celebratory, dark and illuminating. Ganaway is unafraid of subtle ornament: her words—particularly her verbs—compel the reader’s imagination into new territories, just as she illumines the depths of her own seasonal experience in a deeply imaginal and imaginative way. In Ganaway’s world, experience does not equal mere transcription, but the challenge of finding connective tissues that both freight and lighten human experience. #poetrycommunity #poetry #chapbooks
