RIVER, OUR RIVER
by MJ Stratton
Written during a single month, this collection comes from a place of fluent imagination and feeling. Moving through a variety of forms, the poems are both dreams and exposed nerve ends, asking us questions about identity, need, suffering, and the body, while revealing a garden of cinders, moons wrung out into jars, and bees singing in the chest. MJ Stratton draws us into a river of language, at once gentle and cruel, that accepts fluidity and refuses to claim anything for itself as final. (21 pp. / 7.3.23)
