When We Almost Drowned

Literature & Fiction

Barksdale, Jessica

Poetry

Finishing Line Press

<p>The hardest sweet is sharp to the tongue, painful, cutting, and often divine. The poems in Jessica Barksdale's collection Grim Honey follow thin paths of grief, up through steep switchbacks and down the rocky declines into the meadows, where for a moment, we can pause and remember before moving on. The speakers in these poems open to their sorrows and passions and then push forward into stories that-while understood-are still evolving. Barksdale moves through issues of family, love, and death, delving into what is beautiful as completely as what is not to show the fullness of life.</p>
