The poems in this book look back at the end of a marriage, a heartbreaking loss, and a new relationship against the backdrop of a Mississippi season. O'Neil reflects on the history and legacy of Emmett Till, how his story is intertwined with her own, and wades through the incredible grief she feels for herself, her children, and the Black children who won't come home tonight. These poems reclaim the vulnerable, intimate parts of a life in transition and celebrate womanhood through awakenings, landscapes, meanders, and possibilities. She declares, with both self-love and conviction, \"I am done telling the kinder story. I am a myth of my own making.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanuary Gill O'Neil\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor at Salem State University, and the author of \u003ci\u003eRewilding\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMisery Islands\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUnderlife\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by CavanKerry Press.
