"Scourged the river bottom for my lost self"--Frey writes in the collection's final poem, "I Became Less Acceptable to Those in Power"--"Brought them up/ Touched their face/ The armor/ Split and leaking light." A professional counselor and teacher, Frey's work in LOVABILITY uses direct, image-driven poems to name the world we live in.\nBook Description\nThe long-awaited third poetry collection from Emily Kendal Frey, winner of the Norma Farber First Book Award and Oregon Book Award.

Poetry. "Emily Kendal Frey performs grief and dread as a graceful dance, the kind the tree you cut down in your backyard might do on your heart. This work is light, deft, dangerous. There are perfect poems here, such as 'The End,' which enacts a simple, startling twist on the hoary injunction to 'Walk towards the light.' See, everything you know is wrong. You really have to read this book"—Rae Amrantrout.
