Poetry. "This is a beautiful, bitter book. Her poems, compelling histories, local testimonies, handfuls of bees frozen, then alive, stinging like love, or the furious assaults of atomic radiation, hold our attention because, like a sharper's three shells with one pea, they reveal secrets within our grasp, which are yet never quite possessed. Poetry ought to shake us, convince us, test us. This poetry does. I love it" --Dave Smith, Editor of The Southern Review. Corrinne Clegg Hales is the author of one prior book of poetry, Underground, and two chapbooks, Out of this Place, and January Fire which is the winner of the Devil's Millhopper Chapbook Prize.

Poetry. Hales writes of the extraordinary in ordinary lives, of what people see, hear, and do when things are not as they expected—when life walks up to you face-to-face, and waits for you to say the first word and make the first move. T.R. Hummer says of her work, "Corrinne Hales's poetry is straightforward and clear, adopting a plain style which is both appropriate and deceptive. It leads us to understand things we might prefer to ignore; it instructs us in examining the foundations of what we believe and to see where they are weak; it invites us to walk in places where the ground gives way beneath us."
