to make it whole again
ERIN SCOTT
Erin Scott doesn’t so much write as invoke. These poems call in the wild. They draw up from deep places all those fears we think we can’t name. The discomfort or joy—too intimate to share—is where she makes us at home. Scott says, Be gentle. Here. See how the poem can purr in your hand.
